Another of my favorite TED 2011 talks

The man who gave this talk, Thomas Heatherwick, is not a great speaker. He frequently appears awkward and uncertain. At the beginning of the presentation, I thought I might be bored.

Until he began to show some of his studio's projects. I was then captivated. It reminded me again that a better design can transform almost any object into a more beautiful and more useful version of itself.

If I had seen this presentation when I was a kid, I might well have headed straight for architecture and design and never turned back.

Enjoy!
