從我到我們：海澤維克談海澤維克設計全紀錄
【最新英文版獨家授權中譯本】
全球第一本．唯一一本．第一手親撰的海澤維克設計全紀錄
20多年間，逾140件設計案，近1000張全彩圖片
－－從學生到大師之路，獨家揭露每一件設計案背後的創意發想和過程故事
2010年上海世博英國館「種子聖殿」驚豔全世界，那年他不過40歲
《泰晤士報》評為「英國當代最具創意的奇才」
設計巨匠康蘭爵士稱譽「海澤維克是當代的達文西」
獲頒英國設計界奧斯卡「菲利浦親王設計獎」，史上最年輕的皇家工業設計師
當今最火紅、最炙手可熱、最創意獨具、最敢想敢實踐的設計大師－－
湯瑪斯．海澤維克（Thomas Heatherwick）
海澤維克本人全力參與本書製作的所有環節，提供最精細入微的觀點，
回答很多人好奇的問題：這些創意十足的作品是怎麼做出來的？
認識當代最富創造力的創作奇才，唯有本書！
◎製作－－大師之作。。。過程－－大師之路。。。
本書是以海澤維克工作室經手專案為題的作品集，按時間先後順序呈現二十多年來的作品精選。
這本書的目的並不在於說服其他設計師採納任何單一的設計手法，亦非推廣任何設計哲學，而是試著闡明每一個設計專案的思維，講述海澤維克和他的團隊如何發展設計構想的故事。
在全書的敘述中，會在「我」（海澤維克）和「我們」（海澤維克工作室）之間隨意變換，因為除了最早的幾個設計專案之外，每個案子都是一群人和海澤維克一起發展構想而得到的成果。
透過這種集體性的思考實驗，在著手設計前先找出幾個關鍵問題來問自己，藉著這個方法引導朝設計構想走去。
書中的每一個設計專案都會以一個挑釁的問題來當作開場，具體如實地呈現每一個專案所混雜的許許多多的確定與懷疑，突破與死路，緊張和歡喜，以及沮喪與進展。
本書的製作過程就像將每一個通常以3D 形式出現的設計案，壓扁成2D 的圖像和文字，希望為讀者帶來躍然眼前的感受，一窺大師的設計之道，了解這些令人驚豔的作品何以誕生。

◎海澤維克主要代表作品
．「秋的入侵」（Autumn Intrusion），倫敦，1997
以複合材料做成的緞帶形態貫穿倫敦哈維尼可斯百貨公司（Harvey Nichols）櫥窗的裝置藝術，獲同年D&AD Yellow Pencil（銀獎）
．「拉鍊提包」（Zip Bag），瓏驤（Longchamp），2000
把一捲一捲拉鍊縫在一起做出3D 物件，拉開拉鍊時物件又消失為一堆拉鍊，結構計算複雜度驚人且有正確幾何形狀的暢銷提袋
．「槍響就跑」（B of the Bang），曼徹斯特，2002
180根尺寸各異的長管尖刺組成重達180 噸的巨型雕塑，高56公尺、傾斜30 度角，以天空為背景的運動紀念碑

I wish I was rich. I wish I could buy this book as a Christmas present for everyone I know .
It is humongously exciting.
It’s book written by one of Britain top designers – and it maps the progress of him and his studio from 1990 to 2011. It details not only the projects, but the creative thinking behind the projects too. The scope of the projects is extensive, from unique Christmas cards, to buildings, to chairs….and even a vulture aviary in India. He strides the world with his innovative ideas.
This man has a colossal imagination. I don’t like all of his work, but a lot of it is wonderfully thrilling, and some of it I adore. He works a lot with industry, using cutting edge materials or materials from unexpected quarters, and he searches the world for the latest equipment - equipment that will help him realise his extraordinary ideas. His work is a wonderful example of fine art meeting technology, and the results are often exquisitely beautiful, or playful - or both.
Herewith a few examples of his work. I don't know how things work here, but I am hoping you can click on one or two of the images and get to see them better....
The Seed Cathedral at the Shanghai World Expo. This consisted of an installation of 60,000 acrylic rods, piercing a structure from outside to inside. Inside, the end of each rod carried seeds from the Kew Gardens seed bank - 250,000 seeds in total. Daylight would travel down each rod to light up the seeds:
And here is part of the wall of seeds from inside the Seed Cathedral:
Close up of the Material House Sculpture, in the Science Museum in London, comprising 213 layers of different materials, fused together, then sculpted to create what looks like a serpentine geological formation, running from floor to ceiling:
“Spun” chairs, at the V&A Museum in London, which can rotate and rock in three dimensions when people sit on them:
Tower in Colindale, London:
Design for a London cable car:
Teeside power station:
Christmas card. All Heatherwick's intricate cards are sent through the post - with the help of his local sorting office in London:
Christmas cards – the pattern on the “snowflake” consists of card folded several times, and stamped with the name and address of the recipient; then all the negative space has been cut out. The card unfolds to make the snowflake, with just a repeating pattern of the name and address:
---------------------------------------------
His latest venture is a work in progress - a garden bridge across the River Thames in London.
To get a 360 degree view of a mock-up of this bridge, just click one of the pointers on the top left of the video.

The book is based in a reversed chromology narrative so it is actually more of a cv/portfolio that you buy. The language is simple and unfortunately the concepts not really deep but its ok. Heatherwick's work seems to be really unexpected, contextless to be precise and this is why is seems to stand out. The book is rich and really deserves to be read though someone will realize that there are lots of repetitions and recyclings of concepts.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

I have read every word from cover. This man has done a mountains of projects! And this is just design enterprises during 2 decades of his life. What a force of energy and inspiration.
I enjoyed it all. But have to say the Christmas card was the best ever!!
Favourite project? Mm maybe I shall read it again so I can choose.

Deceptively not just a coffee book. As someone midway through a civil engineering book I turn back to it every time I need reminding of why I am doing it. I’m inspired to not just sit in a box but design from Christmas cards to whole towns. A true balance of beauty and function, and a holistic view on design from concepts to understanding manufacturing procedures.

If you want to know more about how Heatherwick thinks and get a close look at all his work, this is the book. You will find his projects ordered chronologically, including bridges, buses, islands and incredible buildings. They go from a simple concept executed with minimal resources to $200-million multiyear projects. But when you see all of them together, you start to see patterns, a special type of taste, a way of facing challenges.
Some projects take up to ten pages to show all their details, with Heatherwick’s description of the creation process, while others are just one page long. My favorites are Pier55 (later known as Little Island), Nanyang Technological University Learning Hub, Baku Tea House, UK Pavilion and Spun chair. Special mention goes to the studio’s annual Christmas cards, in which they try to find each year a cleverer way of surprising their customers. The level of creativity is insane.
I also like very much that he mentions each project-maker at the end (the same happens on the studio’s website). It changes a little the idea of Heatherwick as the single genius behind everything. I found out that Stuart Wood is usually present in the works that I like the most.
When I saw the movie Rocky with my brothers as a kid, we went outside and started to box. This book provokes the same feeling: I want to design, create objects and use my hands to build something from scratch. Probably because this book is not just about a genius like Heatherwick; it’s about creation that any of us can do and how it makes us uniquely human.

很多設計理念的成形與實踐，手作確實也是設計重要的一部分，大規模的實驗可以讓設計的成品更加完美

A great seed of inspiration for the creative minds.

¿Se puede hacer diseño contestando preguntas? Pues precisamente para Thomas Heatherwhick de eso se trata el diseño y este maravilloso monográfico lo demuestra con gran acierto.
Presentando más de 120 proyectos, sí ¡más de 120! este prolífico diseñador Inglés hace alarde de su metodología de diseño. Presentados en orden cronológico los proyectos permiten ver la evolución de uno de los pilares del diseño Inglés contemporáneo y demuestran su indiscutible capacidad para innovar de una manera poco común en el mundo del diseño industrial contemporáneo.
Hoy en día el estudio de Thomas es un gran equipo interdisciplinario y los encargos que recibe vienen de todas partes del mundo y muchos de ellos son de gran envergadura, pero es fácil suponer que no siempre fue así. Lo que este arquitecto/diseñador logra plasmar en su monográfico es la tremenda coherencia entre lo que hizo como estudiante universitario y lo que presentó al mundo en la feria mundial en Shanghái, durante las olimpiadas y ahora que el nuevo autobús de dos pisos que circula por Londres.
Pensar que este talentoso diseñador nació sólo en 1970 y ha recorrido un brillante camino deja ver como ha sido productivo. Algo es seguro, Heatherwhick ha contestado muchas preguntas; y vaya que ha dado las respuestas ¡correctas!

Was so inspired by the V & A exhibition that I bought this massive tome. Have been dreaming about rolling bridges and extruded bench seats. Stunning and beautiful and useful.

An extraordinary collection of innovation and ingenuity from one of Britain's foremost contemporary designers. Deftly factual and inspirational.
