500 _aThe first major monograph on the radical, technologically-inspired architectural work of the firm Future Systems.
520 _aThe book "Future Systems: The Story of Tomorrow" by Martin Pawley is the first comprehensive monograph dedicated to the work of the highly experimental, London-based architectural firm Future Systems, co-founded by Jan Kaplický and Amanda Levete. It was first published by Phaidon Press in 1993. The central theme of the book is the firm's relentless pursuit of a technologically driven, utopian, and radically new architecture. Pawley, a prominent architectural critic, showcases Future Systems' early, often unbuilt, conceptual projects that reject conventional building forms and materials. The firm's designs were heavily influenced by aerospace technology, bionics, and industrial design, resulting in sleek, organic, and futuristic structures that anticipated the "blobitecture" trend of the 21st century.
