Is thomas heatherwick an architect? I thought he was an artist who hired architects in his studio and did projects, but wasn't licensed or trained or anything as an architect....
you are correct.
As stunning as the Seed Cathedral was, I really wish a talented architect had wrested the idea away from the Sitooterie that birthed it. There was a lot of unexplored spatial potential there that went to waste.
