London’s New BusThere’s arguably no better view of London than the one from the front of one of its double-decker buses. Heatherwick took on a redesign of London’s iconic transportation by looking at them as “two-story buildings on wheels,” as evidenced by the curved glass that follows the movement of people. He wanted passengers to “feel the theater, the splendor of moving around one of the incredible cities of the world,” and so attended to details like reinventing bench seats and giving a little more love to the staircase, while also striving to reduce energy costs by 40 percent. Some 200 new buses are already on the streets.
