Heatherwick at the V&A

Yesterday we ventured up to the V&A on the slowest bus in the world from Peckham to a tiny room absolutely rammed to the gills with work, and then stuffed with lots and lots of people. Some great work but just no time to think or contemplate or even make connections between the work at different stages. Just queue for the next case and hope you got a good spot or could see round someone’s head. I couldn’t help think it would have been far better at a larger venue like the Design Museum with some space around it.

Some fascinating pieces and ideas across all levels but it seemed to fall down as the scale grew for me. I can’t really make any other judgment as it was so hideous to visit – maybe I’ll buy the book from Amazon and digest in my own time.

Plenty of space to see the exhibition
