Have created the architectural features of New Look Oxford Street; Marni’s department stores stand-alone shops in London, Milan, Paris, New York; and Selfridges in Birmingham, the Design Museum celebrates Future System’s creative ethos in true style. From 1 July to 1 November 2009, the museum will host an exhibition curated by Deyan Sudjic. The show will zoom in on late Jan Kaplick’s career, his influences and unique futuristic vision for building design.
Jan Kaplick, who passed away earlier this year aged 71, was the Czech architect responsible for some of the most remarkable buildings that Britain has seen. This exhibition will show he was the driving force behind a new school of architecture and his buildings that continue to stimulate, amaze and inspire. Kaplick pushed against the status quo, offering an unique personal vision. This exhibition celebrates the work of a gifted architect and designer.
Arriving in London as a refugee after the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, Kaplick worked with Denys Lasun, Richard Roger and Norman Foster. He established Future Systems with David Nixon in 1979 which worked initially as a kind of think tank. Astonishing drawings and plans for robot built structures spinning in earth’s orbit, weekend houses in the guise of space age survival pods and malleable interiors were just some of Kaplick’s visions.
Amanda Levete joined Future Systems in 1989, and together Kaplick and Levete began to build some of the practice’s best known work. In 1994 Future Systems designed the Stirling Prize winning media centre at Lord’s Cricket Ground and in 1999 designed the Selfridges department store in Birmingham, a sensuous iceberg like building that would win the 2004 RIBA Award for Architecture.
