Description
Thomas Heatherwick's Humanise is a powerful manifesto for change, arguing that buildings and cities can be designed to uplift our spirits and foster connection. By exploring the impact of design on our mental and physical health, the climate, and social cohesion, Heatherwick challenges the status quo of modernist design and offers a vision for a more humanised world.
Through a combination of his own work, expert insights, and recent advances in neuroscience and cognitive psychology, Heatherwick makes a compelling case for a more empathetic and people-centred approach to urban planning. This book is a call to action, urging us to imagine a world where buildings and cities nourish our senses and psyche.
With its accessible and elegant language, Humanise is a worthwhile read for anyone concerned about the future of our built environment. It's a provocative and urgent call to make the world around us a better place for everyone to live.
