An instant sellout on first publication, this volume has been expanded to include Thomas Heatherwicks magnificent Olympic cauldron. Written in close collaboration with the designer himself, the book offers a highly personal, in-depth and behind-the-scenes look at all aspects of his creative, design and manufacturing processes. Each of the more than 140 fully illustrated projects is accompanied by a text explaining, in Heatherwicks words, the design question it posed and the creative and practical processes used to address it.
