Thomas Heatherwick Quotes

One great building does not make a great city Picture Quote #1

I have a strong sense that every project is an invention, which is not a word I hear being used in architecture courses Picture Quote #1

It’s important for people who criticise architects - whether what they build is or isn’t to your taste - to appreciate how they devote themselves and put everything into bringing a building into existence Picture Quote #1

The British government - any government - is potentially the worst [architectural] client in the world Picture Quote #1

I studied at a time when buildings were sterile things, and their creators were hands-off people - super-intelligent people, but you felt they didn’t love the stuff buildings are made from Picture Quote #1

As a teenager, my father took me to the shows at the Architectural Association and to places like Milton Keynes back when it was first being built. But I couldn’t find anything for me. There seemed to be despair at the possibility of the built environment possessing any imagination in the real world Picture Quote #1

An interest in ideas is a sign of human life. People are fascinated by what the future is going to be - and the future is going to be an accumulation of ideas Picture Quote #1

At the root of everything I do is a fascination with ideas – what ideas are for, what jobs they do Picture Quote #1

Museums just seem to have this borrowed cachet-if I want to seem cultural, I will design something cultural. I resist the idea that culture is only opera houses or theatres. Culture is your entire life around you: toilets, the bus, the kerb or the dump where you drag your waste. Culture has come to mean the arts, but it’s swimming pools as well Picture Quote #1

Any government is potentially the worst client in the world you could ever possibly want to have Picture Quote #1
