Face to Face: Thomas Heatherwick

<p>Dezeen's Face to Face podcast series continues with an interview with designer Thomas Heatherwick. Although not an architect, Heatherwick has become known for his large scale building projects such as the Vessel in New York, Coal Drops Yard in London and the upcoming Google Campus in Mountain View, California. Dezeen's founder and editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs met with Heatherwick at his London studio to talk about his childhood fascination with engineering, his distaste for architectural discourse and how he completed his first building while still a student.</p>

Dezeen has teamed up with design software brand SketchUp to launch a podcast series called Climate Salon, exploring the future of architecture and interior design in relation to the climate.

In this series, Dezeen’s design and environment editor Jennifer Hahn will speak to leading designers, architects and engineers about how they can utilise the tools available to them now to work more sustainably and make a positive impact on the climate.

The series will explore how people can work together across disciplines to achieve sustainability goals in a more meaningful way, as well as how to better educate future designers.
