This designer is truly inspirational. He has done many pieces big and small around the UK, each one executed with precision and style.
The first image is a massive sculpture inside the Wellcome Trust building, hanging above a pool of water. It is made from molten metal dropped into water to give the twisted and flowing effect. The challenging factor of this brief was that the sculpture had to fit through the doors of the building but be large enough to fill the space.
The bridge as you can see rolls up to let boats pass instead of the usual mechanism of raising each side. I find this bridge amazing, because it shows how serious Thomas takes his work, not just looking at aesthetics but challenging the way things are made in the first place.
