Thomas Heatherwick is a wonderful designer. He should by now have factored in the temptation to vandalise which so affects British Urban Youth. So many of his outdoor projects…rolling bridge, blue carpet, B of the Bang have proved irresistible to scallies who couldn’t create a boiled egg without help.

the mesh works well now.

may i just add that the facade could do without it … if there wasn’t the problem of vandalism (the threads don’t loosen by themselves you know).

it’s a shame that the general public doesn’t respect effort and beauty.

sorted now and it has a more fitting mesh on top of the lower section which should ensure does not get vandalised as easily… [green plastic mesh did not go well with the rest ;¬)

The ‘Boiler Suit’ did not last the opening ceremony, and poor finishing has made the sleek wrap so prey to damage the whole lower section has been further wrapped in a garish, green nylon mesh cover. Passing the site each day, I can’t say I’m suprised, the site has been very slowly and very sparcely attended to. The information officer at the hospital Trust had no idea when the damaged sections would be fixed….
