Thomas Heatherwick's inspiration?

Also I keep looking at the wooden model on the bottom left and thinking about how much it resembles the façade of Thomas Heatherwick's korean sky scraper.
It sometimes surprises me how closely his designs attempt to resemble their models, normally models are simply abstractions but the way he treats them, it's as if he's just making 1:1's of purely sculptural objects rather then a kit of parts... Can't decide if I think it's a good thing or not
