The London Design Museum will organize an exhibition for Kaplický

London - The Design Museum in London will hold an exhibition in July dedicated to the late Czech architect Jan Kaplický. The curator of the exhibition, which "celebrates the work of the talented architect and designer," will be the museum's director Deyan Sudjic, the London museum announced today.
    The exhibition will run from July 1 to November 1. Kaplický was the author of some of the most remarkable buildings Britain has seen, the museum stated in a press release. "Kaplický was a driving force of a new architectural school and his buildings continue to stimulate, dazzle, and inspire. He stood against the status quo and offered a unique personal vision."
    "Jan was an extraordinary architect and a brilliant artist. We are only just beginning to understand the influence he had on the shape of the contemporary world," Sudjic stated.
    Kaplický passed away in Prague at the age of 71 this January. He left behind a number of well-known designs, such as the Selfridges department store in Birmingham, the media stand at the cricket stadium in London, and a floating bridge in the Canary Wharf district of London. In Prague, he won the competition for the construction of the National Library, but the project could not be realized.
