“Museums just seem to have this borrowed cachet—if I want to seem cultural, I will design something cultural. I resist the idea that culture is only opera houses or theatres.

Culture has come to mean the arts, but it’s swimming pools as well.” IfsWantWellsMeanArtIdeasSeemsCultureHouseDesignWasteTheatreMuseumsBusSwimmingPoolOperaDragToiletsBorrowedDumpSwimming PoolOpera House Author:Thomas Heatherwick
