context_page_description: Thomas Alexander Heatherwick, CBE RA RDI is an English designer and the founder of London-based design practice Heatherwick Studio. Since the late 1990s Heatherwick has emerged as one of Britain's most significant designers. Heatherwick works with a team of around 180 architects, designers and makers from a studio and workshop in King's Cross, London.
  Heatherwick has been involved in the design of many projects, some controversial, including the Olympic Cauldron, the New Routemaster bus, and the UK pavilion at Expo 2010. Other notable projects include the renovation of the Hong Kong Pacific Place, the cancelled Garden Bridge, a proposed plan for a biomass power station in BEI-Teesside, and the Vessel in New York.
