Thomas Heatherwick keynote session

Through his Humanise campaign, Thomas Heatherwick has become one of the field’s most vocal advocatesfor buil dings made around human emotion and wellbeing, arguing that how a place makes us feel is a fundamental part of its function. His own practice puts that conviction into action, with model-making, material experimentation and restless curiosity at the center of how ideas take shape. At a conference devoted to technology and its role in the built environment, his presence is a reminder that the tools are only ever as good as the human imagination behind them, and that people remain at the heart of the designs we celebrate. Expect awide-ranging talk from one of the field’s most original voices, with time toput your own questions to him directly.
