Description

Paul Westwood is an award-winning architect with over fifteen years of experience, with a comprehensive background in designing public buildings and infrastructures across several sectors around the globe, including New York, London, and Stockholm. Notably, as Project Leader of Little Island at Heatherwick Studio, Paul was instrumental in shaping the design of this unique park and performance venue that reimagines an entirely new public space. The park’s imaginative design raises sections of green landscape skyward above the water, illustrating Paul’s creative direction to solve complexities with research and integrated technology. Additionally, he is involved in the 1901 Project, a $7 billion transformative development at the United Center on Chicago’s West Side, designed to stimulate economic growth and revitalize the surrounding community. As Project Leader of London Olympia at Heatherwick Studio, he led the reinvention of a Victorian Exhibition Hall into a new cultural district for London.
