Last month Thomas gave the 2021 Hands Lecture at Oxford University’s Mansfield College – the first designer to give this lecture.

Thomas spoke about the importance of humanising design and breaking down siloed thinking to positively impact our cities.

The Hands Lecture is Mansfield College’s annual lecture focusing on politics, economics and current affairs. Previous speakers include William Hague; Dame Colette Bowe; Lord Heseltine; David Blunkett; Peter Mandelson; Lord Brown and Shami Chakrabati.
