I've always loved his work. As many in this video said, his stuff is designed in such a way that everything has a purpose. He can tell you what each piece of said design does. This sets him apart from many, who just bolt things on to make them look cool or 'high tech'.

I'm a professional ID, and let me tell you, his name comes up during critiques all the time. I really like that quote "reminds you of something you've never seen before". I'm a huge advocate of that visual evolution of objects. You should be able to relate an object to what came before, and imagine what it might look like in the future.

Apparently the hotweels guy never saw the "happy place" blade runner was set in.
