Watch our talk with Thomas Heatherwick from Second Home LA | Talks | Dezeen

Thomas Heatherwick explains his studio's "human-centred" approach to the design of public spaces in this filmed talk hosted by Dezeen and Second Home in Los Angeles.

The British designer, whose studio designed the Coal Drops Yard shopping district in London and the Vessel centrepiece at Hudson Yards in New York, told Dezeen founder and editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs that his projects are open to users' interpretations.

Absolutely brilliant, witty, descreet with words and respectful to users and clients. Scintillating conversation, thank you.

[ZionSimba]

Thank you for this. I understand him and his work much better now.

In my mind anytime I hear or see any Thomas' projects I am always reminded about Da Vinci and the genius gene these two human beings, somehow, share. Love Thomas and his vision.

[yohighness]

Engaging discussion, nicely done. Thomas Heatherwick is a passionate, creative man. Rest in peace, Marcus.

think out of the pre-defined boxes of design, going out of the clichés, the genius' trade mark, I like when controversial views and ideas of somebody can open the eyes of many others.Thanks to the TH of this world

THIS MAN THINKING IS ALWAYS WORTH TO LISTEN

Three suicides off the Vessel so far. Isn't an architect supposed to design with proper height guard rails?
