About Speaker
Thomas Heatherwick, is a British designer whose prolific and varied work over two decades is characterised by its ingenuity, inventiveness, and originality. Defying the conventional classification of design disciplines, Thomas founded Heatherwick studio in 1994 to bring the practices of design, architecture, and urban planning together in a single workspace. Thomas’ unusual approach applies artistic thinking to the needs of each project, resulting in some of the most acclaimed designs of our time.
Based in London, Heatherwick Studio is currently working on approximately 30 projects in ten countries. Following the Gold Award success of the UK Pavilion for the Shanghai World Expo in 2010, Heatherwick Studio has gone on to win exciting design briefs including 1000 Trees, a mixed-use development in Shanghai; and new headquarters for Google in Silicon Valley and London (in collaboration with BIG, currently under construction).
The studio has recently completed a new public centerpiece for Hudson Yards in New York; the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa in Cape Town, the first museum of its kind on the continent; and Coal Drops Yard, a major new retail district in King’s Cross, London. Thomas has been appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire, a Royal Academician and in 2004 became the youngest Royal Designer for Industry.

Event text
Here we go! Now that we can not meet you and our speakers at a fully booked auditorium, we will bring the speakers directly to your homes and offices.
Starting in November, we will “visit” selected countries around the world and virtually meet some of their most relevant architects. The current list of countries includes Singapore, Australia, the United Kingdom, France, Denmark, the Netherlands, South Korea, China, Estonia/Lithuania, South Africa, Mexico, and the United States.
For the opening event, we will have two of our most admired architects participating together on our virtual stage, who will talk about their personal experiences and important creative periods in their lives and, as always at “AnA“, not a word may be lost about their projects.
Join us on Thursday, December 3rd, 2020 live from 14:00 to 15:30 CET, Berlin time (13:00 London time, 21:00 Beijing time, 08:00 EST) to listen to the following inspiring architects:
– Ma Yansong, MAD Architects, Beijing, www.i-mad.com
– Thomas Heatherwick, Heatherwick Studio, London, www.heatherwick.com
There will be a rerun (not live) from 20:00 to 21:30 CET, Berlin time.
Virtual Feedback Cards for the Speaker
Dear viewer, Maybe you have never attended on of our events, but maybe you know this already. Your work is required! As the speakers share many of their personal experiences with us, we would like to present them a special gift, now in a virtual way.
Please write down on the following text box what you enjoyed most about the talk. Our goal is to present each speaker with personal feedback cards, as we do at our events. At our events, we collect the cards right before we start with the round table and hand them over in a box at the end of the event.
Please participate! Our speakers love it and we want to continue with this tradition.
