He shows how a flawed idea of utility and 'efficiency' has engulfed our towns and cities and hardened into a form of bland minimalism. But it doesn't have to be this way—there are other ways to build—with the power to lift our spirits, engage and connect us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHeatherwick draws on his own work, the ideas of other experts in the field, and recent advances in neuroscience and cognitive psychology to offer both a case against the inhumanity of modernist design and a rallying cry to everyone to imagine the world anew. Looking through his eyes, we take in places around the world, old and new, famous and obscure, that can sap the life out of us—or nourish our senses and our psyche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHumanise\u003c\/em\u003e is a tautly argued provocation and an urgent call-to-arms to make the world around us a far better place for everyone to live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is a super accessible guide as to why we shouldn't put up with soulless buildings and how we might change that. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight:bold;\"\u003eGRAYSON PERRY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46224849895660,"sku":"9780241389799","price":34.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780241389799.jpg?v=1740696970"},{"product_id":"thomas-heatherwick-9780500297162","title":"Thomas Heatherwick","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeaturing sixteen new projects and fresh photography, this updated and revised book remains the definitive publication on the internationally acclaimed designer Thomas Heatherwick.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow do you create a car that cleans the air?
