About the Humanise book

The Humanise campaign was sparked by the book Humanise: a maker’s guide to building our world by the global designer Thomas Heatherwick.

Now published in a number of languages, this manifesto for change explores how buildings and cities around the world lost their soul – and what we can do about it.

Drawing on recent advances in neuroscience and psychology, and thirty years of making bold, beautiful buildings, Heatherwick takes us on a journey full of vivid stories and insights, illustrated with hundreds of compelling images.
