Czech architect Jan Kaplicky died in January of this year aged 71, thereby bringing to a close the career of one of the most exciting and innovative designers of recent times. 

Famous buildings include the Selfridges in Birmingham and the Comme des Garcons store in Tokyo. But, for many, Kaplicky will be best remembered for the fantastic media centre at Lord's, the home of cricket.

In one fell swoop Kaplicky dragged the fusty old timers of the MCC right into the forefront of cutting edge contemporary design: a remarkable achievement, and a fantastic and functional design.

The Design Museum presents a major celebration of his work.

Until 01.11.09.
