Airo presents a futuristic vision transforming the experience of travel and driving, designed by Heatherwick Studio for IM Motors. Thomas Heatherwick and his team unveiled Airo as a fully electric vehicle with autonomous and driver-controlled modes. Running on electric power with no fossil fuel emissions as it drives around. The car verve further in realizing an environmentally equipped state-of-the-art HEPA filtering system, that actively cleanses the air from the pollution of other vehicles. The curvy and sassy design enables air to pass through the under-carriage of the vehicle, parting and cleaning the surrounding air.

The Bund Finance Centre is a prominent new mixed-use development close to the Shanghai waterfront and has been designed jointly by Foster + Partners and Heatherwick Studio. Occupying a prominent site on the Bund, the buildings define the ‘end point’ to Shanghai’s most famous street. The masterplan is highly permeable for pedestrians, with the design conceived as a point of connection between the old town and the new financial district.
