innovative business + design + architecture + art + fashion + culture

This buddhist temple is designed by Thomas Heatherwick , a Young British designer . when asked how he came up with the idea for the shape ( interestin answer ) he said " I was working very physically on large lumps of clay. It was cohesive but somehow ugly. Then there was a moment when I suddenly realized that this actually looked like fabric. This synced with the garments the priest often wears, which are awesome in the forms that they make by themselves.About the same time someone said: “Did you know the Buddha sits on fabric, on a cushion?” which seemed like a good fortune within the design process, but it was not to simulate anything."
I like how he sorta combines architecture, design n art to create these objects . He has done some realli interestin stuff . I like i like .
