The New Routemaster would need to be completely accessible and use 40% less fossil fuel than existing buses, and be affordable. One thousand vehicles were commissioned and the first 6 were on the streets in time for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Maggie’s commissioned Heatherwick Studio to create a new centre on the campus of St James’s University Hospital in Leeds. Set in the midst of medical buildings, the site was one of the few green spaces left on the campus. The studio accentuated this space by creating the structure out of the garden itself, raising up the planted surface.

In 2014 Heatherwick Studio restored and transformed a pair of Victorian warehouses and viaducts to create Coal Drops Yard, a new public space and retail destination. The outcome is a dynamic new space for London designed for established companies, emerging brands and newly graduated students from the nearby Central Saint Martin’s Art School.

@WePresent highlighted the work of French architect Emmanuelle Moureaux. When she first arrived in the Japanese megacity of Tokyo over 20 years ago, she was overwhelmed by its colours.
.
.
She developed the design approach she now applies to every project, from buildings, interiors to art installations. Throughout her practice she combines layers of colors of Tokyo with traditional Japanese "shōji", space dividers made out of translucent paper and bamboo.

@WePresent highlighted the work of Cameroonian artist Jean David Nkot, whose subjects are painted against a backdrop of maps and borders, as he explored the entangled minds of migrant workers.
.
.
His work has always centered around the human condition and, following a recent residency as part of the Moving Frontiers project, his work made a natural progression onto the theme of migration.

When we think of “ceramics,” we might think of vases depicting classic historical scenes or jugs decorated with floral arrangements. Going against this common conception, @WePresent highlighted the work of Canadian artist Trevor Baird. Traditionally a comic book artist, he covers his pots with extracts from the strips he’s painted.

@WePresent showcased Theo Jansen’s Strandbeasts, his imagined wind-powered skeletons which roamed across the beach. Driven around by the wind they gather sand to create dunes which would act as dams, in order to protect the Netherlands’ coastline from rising sea levels.
