In this manifesto for change, one of the world's pre-eminent designers explores how buildings and cities around the world lost their soul - and what we can do about it.

Thomas Heatherwick shows how design has a profound effect on our mental and physical health, the climate, as well as the peace and cohesion of societies. He shows how a flawed idea of utility and 'efficiency' has engulfed our towns and cities and hardened into a form of bland minimalism. But it doesn't have to be this way: there are other ways to build - with the power to lift our spirits, engage and connect us.

Heatherwick draws on his own work, the ideas of other experts in the field, and recent advances in neuroscience and cognitive psychology to offer both a case against the inhumanity of modernist design and a rallying cry to everyone to imagine the world anew. Looking through his eyes, we take in places around the world, old and new, famous and obscure, that can sap the life out of us - or nourish our senses and our psyche.

Humanise is a tautly argued provocation and an urgent call-to-arms to make the world around us a far better place for everyone to live.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"This book is a super accessible guide as to why we shouldn't put up with soulless buildings and how we might change that." (Grayson Perry)

"Humanise is a masterwork. It's quietly furious, impassioned, rigorous and forensic in all the right doses. It leaves me very hopeful indeed about how things could go from here." (Alain de Botton)

I enjoyed the unfolding of the well-reasoned argument read by Heatherwick himself in his characterful voice. I felt the passion against our obsession with sanctifying ‘The Market’ which has resulted in (a lot of cases) bare minimum functional architecture.

Hopefully this book will ignite a movement of people celebrating the humanity in making beautiful and functional things.

The book is both a critique and a rallying cry. Heatherwick draws on his extensive experience in design, alongside insights from neuroscience and cognitive psychology, to demonstrate how our surroundings profoundly impact mental and physical health, social cohesion, and even climate resilience. He challenges the prevailing notion of utility and efficiency, advocating instead for spaces that nourish the senses and foster human connection.
It is a thought-provoking and timely read for anyone interested in architecture, urban planning, or the intersection of design and human experience. Heatherwick’s call to action is a reminder that the world we build shapes the lives we lead—and it’s within our power to make it better.

A great book

I think about half the book was a run up to the meaty bit. Waaay to long a run up. also, this book will ruin the word boring for you.

very slow to get going

When I think of creativity as ‘thinking outside the box’ Heatherwick’s work comes come to my mind. I now really admire his boldness in challenging the current practice in architecture and am hopeful towards this new movement!

This book helped me FEEL hopeful and nurtured
