He has been instrumental on award-winning projects such as Coal Drops Yard. Prior to joining Heatherwick Pablo was based at SOM London. Pablo has lectured widely, and his personal work has been published and awarded internationally.

Translating complex geometry for real-world fabrication

The lecture will feature the work of Heatherwick Studio. Showcasing the processes behind their world-renowned designs, explore how the studio is engaging with emergent technologies and utilising Rhino and Grasshopper in the realisation of recently completed projects including New York’s Vessel, as well as their current explorations of mixed-reality in construction, to enable collaboration with local craftsman, ensure quality throughout the build process and allow designs to be pushed to their limits.

All welcome!
