With an emphasis on collaborative problem solving and experimentation, Heatherwick Studio’s integrative approach to design practice addresses the relationship between form, context, and making; frequently incorporating new materials and innovative technology in its designs. The firm works in a broad range of scales, from product design and temporary structures to infrastructure and large-scale architectural projects.
On October 8, Thomas Heatherwick, founder of Heatherwick Studio, will present current work in a public lecture to be followed by a conversation with Paul Goldberger, writer and contributing editor of Vanity Fair.

Following the lecture, Thomas Heatherwick will be signing copies of Thomas Heatherwick: Making. A limited number of books will be on sale in the SHOP Cooper Hewitt pop-up store at Cooper Union.
This lecture is co-sponsored by Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, The Architectural League of New York, and The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture of The Cooper Union.
