Belying his national pride, Burberry CEO Christopher Bailey added in the release, “British design and architecture constantly inspire all of us here at Burberry so it is a real privilege to be able to support Thomas [Heatherwick] and his team in this exciting city.”
The exhibition will be curated by Brooke Hodge, deputy director of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, and will be overseen by Hammer Museum’s curator Aram Moshayedi.
