Artist/Sculptor

[edit]

I removed the phrase "often mislabelled as a sculptor or artist" because while the subject is primarily a designer, he is also an artist and sculptor. He has a Masters of Arts degree, is referred to by the BBC article concerning his sculpture B of the Bang as "the artist" and received an honorary Doctor of the Arts for, among other things, his work in public art (such as the sculptures Bleigiessen, Sitooterie II, Blue Carpet, etc.). I think he can safely be called an artist or sculptor without too much repercussion. --206.74.156.164 (talk) 21:57, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Number of petals in the Olympic Cauldon

[edit]

Different media sources are giving different numbers for the petals that made up the Olympic cauldron. Some sources say 204, one for each competing country, but BBC says 205 (there was one petal for the Independent Olympic Athletes competing under the Olympic flag. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.2.75.107 (talk) 10:36, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There were 205 carried in the Athlete's Parade, including one for the Independent Olympic Athletes; their petal was not included on the cauldron, so the cauldron was made up of 204 petals. Stronach (talk) 12:20, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism/Failures

[edit]

Why is there so little critique here of such a controversial 'architect'/designer i.e numerous problems with the new 'Routmaster' busses<http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-33569460> <http://www.politics.co.uk/news/2014/09/03/the-roastmaster-complaints-soar-about-boris-s-sauna-buses>, the B in the Bang falling apart <http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-18703854> , 'The Blue Carpet' tiles turning grey <http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/call-revamp-16m-artwork-left-1405623>, and multiple objections to the proposed 'Garden Bridge'<http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/may/30/garden-bridge-lumley-backlash-london>? At present Thomas Heatherwick's entry reads like a puff piece created by a PR agency to promote his studio. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.192.29 (talk) 22:30, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Right. Self-promotion is what he's good at. For a less biased view of him, see Jack Wakefield's piece in The Spectator, 21 November 2015, page 65. Maproom (talk) 17:24, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

plan for a gazebo made of two for his degree project, 6 m high curved stacks of birch plywood,

[edit]

The above bit of a sentence looked wrong, so I corrected it to "plan for a gazebo for his degree project. It was made of two 6 m high curved stacks of birch plywood..." 82.15.39.58 (talk) 17:11, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
