Have you ever heard that the bridge can also be "rolled" after eating KFC's old Beijing chicken?
This issue continues to introduce you to the famous design master Thomas Heatherwick Thomas Heswick.

A bridge-building project that made the young Thomas famous was a pedestrian bridge on the Grand Alliance Canal. It looks ordinary, doesn't it? But after rolling it into an "octagon", did it instantly subvert your imagination?
I remember seeing this charming bridge introduced on a TV program, and I am still impressed.

Thomas did not follow the conventional design route, nor did he learn from the excellent design like Tower Bridge in London, but built a curved pedestrian bridge with a unique design method.
The reason why the bridge body can curl is that Thomas installed a water pressure device in the railing. Later, this bold and novel idea greatly increased his fame and occupied a small place in the British design circle.

Thomas heatherwick is a well-deserved ''life winner'' in a sense, because not all art students who study design can set up their own studios at the age of 23, and design their own country's World Expo venues and Olympic torch towers in the year of their establishment., Won the "Prince Philip Design Award" in the architecture industry, and was praised as the "New Generation Leonardo da Vinci" by the domestic industry. From his official debut at the age of 24 to the present, Heswick's design field has been very extensive, from architecture, interior, sculpture to furniture, public domain....... Almost all aspects of design life are involved. This cross-border openness is also a design state that Thomas enjoys most. In fact, what Heswick cares most about is not how grand things he has built, but what experience and feelings his design can bring to people.

Did the designers feel deeply after seeing it?
