Philosophy of design
Life, Pimrapee Thungkasemvathana, Published on 23/03/2015

He reinvented the iconic red London bus, down to the fabric for the seats, treating the interior of the bus like an architectural space. Heatherwick then went on to represent his homeland with the design of the UK Pavilion at the Shanghai Expo in 2010 — the Seed Cathedral, a hairy rectangular structure made with 60,000 identical clear acrylic rods, which created a curvaceous geometric interior space holding 250,000 seed samples.

Going for Gold
Muse, Pimrapee Thungkasemvathana, Published on 11/10/2014
» 'I remember the exact moment. It was in 2004. Hurricane Charlie swept through our town. I remember the only channel we had was NBC. We were sitting there watching the Athens Games. I remember that exact moment. I was watching this girl, Carly Patterson, and she won the Olympic All-Around Champion medal. I was like 'Man, that chick is 16 and she's a gold medallist'.
