Birmingham - Selfridges Department Store

The landmark Selfridges store in Birmingham embodies Future System's machine aesthetic and dominates the city's Bullring shopping centreKaplick's design incorporated 15,000 aluminium discs bolted to a blue, concrete-rendered shellThe building, which took four years to complete at an approximate cost of 40m, was opened In 2003Length: 76.69 m.Width: 95.73 m.Ridge height: 30 m.Architectural Style: New Organic Architecture, High-tech, Blobitecture

DESIGN InspirationGesu nuova church, 16th centuryDesignerdress by Paco RabanneThe beauty of the aluminium is that it reflects the colour of the skyThe 660 mm diameter outer cover was pressed into shape and the edge folded around to form a flange by spinning the disc and folding the edge around, like a pottercreating an edge on a wheel3

Each band acts like a curtain from the floor slab edge and laterally support it at the bottom edge. This avoids thick walls as each floor is supporting the facade.

Popular Works by Jan Kaplicky

Design for the Prague's National Library Design of a sofa for a club house Pierre Chareau (1883 - 1950)created works that combined Art Deco with Classic Modernism

celebrated architect, interior designer, and furniture designer of the modern movement.

born in Bordeaux in 1883 to a family of shipbuilders and studied architecture at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris from 1900 to 1908.

Chareaus primary interest was in furniture design and was famous for his unique design

Consistent design ideals and materials were used throughout the entire house.

The grey and black house seems to be monochromatic at first glance, but it also contains colours.

The orange columns, the tapestry-covered furniture, the warm mahogany wood, and the books on the bookshelf wall all give off signs of life, sparks of joy. Colours burst forth.

The glass wall of the great room, forming the outer facade, absorbs and refracts the light. Diffused by the massive glass wall, light invades the entire room, illuminating the space

Maison de Verre / The Glass House , 1927-32, Pierre Chareau, Architect

The house is constituted by 3 floors, where the inferior floor was the Doctors work space and the 2 superior floors, that were for his private habitation, appear suspended creating a spatial interrelation between the 2 different types of space.

The facade of glass bricks is an element of separation, instead of integrationFurniture designs BY Pierre Chareau

His furniture was unique in that it was often designed to perform multiple functions, and was dynamic and transformable so that it could take different forms to perform different functions.

Pivoting and expanding fan-shaped configurations are a hallmark of Chareaus work.

He worked frequently with steel, glass, and hammered metals, which were very uncommon at the time. The influence of Neoplasticism, Cubism, De Stijl can be seen in his work.

Chareaus designs demonstrates a fascination with the relationship between body and space, and appear to be ergonomic in their conceptionJean Prouve(8 April 1901 - 23 March 1984)

never design anything that cannot be made.

Design PrinciplesThe machine age and industrial engineered modern design aesthetic to interiors in the steel, aluminum and architecture.Introduced modular units having 1m as unit.Derived Structural Elements from support members of furniture.Philosophy Buildings should reflect era in which they are made in , Hence utilized steel, glass along with timber.Planning should be functional.Hence most buildings have linear arrangement of plans.
