Arts “What buildings could be like if they weren’t so horribly earthbound” – UK exhibition commemorates architect Jan Kaplický
The late Czech architect Jan Kaplický's buildings have been described as 'some of the most remarkable... that Britain has ever seen' and, by a disgruntled Prince Charles, as amongst the worst examples of 'the surrealist picnic' that is modern architecture. When Kaplický died at the beginning of 2009, British architecture lost one of its most creative, and provocative, figures. Long-time friend and head of London's Design Museum Deyan Sudjic has curated an exhibition called 'Remembering Jan Kaplický – Architect of the Future', which runs until November 1 in Kaplický's honour. On a recent visit to London, I asked him to talk me through the exhibit:
