As part of the GREAT Britain campaign, the British Council, the UK’s international organisation for cultural and educational opportunities, will organise a major exhibition co-presented with PMQ, New British Inventors: Inside Heatherwick Studio. The exhibition in Hong Kong showcases the innovation and creative process of Heatherwick Studio, founded by renowned British designer Thomas Heatherwick. The exhibition, curated by Kate Goodwin, Head of Architecture and the Drue Heinz Curator at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, will be on display in PMQ from 5 – 23 September 2015, with generous support from our lead partners, Swire Properties Limited and KEF.
The exhibition features projects from 20 years of Heatherwick Studio, ranging in scale from furniture to urban masterplanning. By utilising the studio’s extensive archive, including 1:1 scale prototypes, models, test pieces, drawings and photographs, the exhibition aims at providing a fascinating insight into the studio’s exploration of new ideas, materials, techniques and processes.
