Kaplicky, who passed away earlier this year, was the head of a conceptual architecture company, [Future Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-collection), which has designed and put into production some of the most beautiful and innovative buildings throughout the world. His style emanated a true vision and understanding of the future and he was never afraid to break barriers no matter how ridiculous an idea was. Among buildings, Kaplicky also designed [solar powered vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milan-design-week-2025), electric cars, jewelery, bikinis and double-decker buses. He will be missed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Conceptual Architecture:** Opportunity for exploring new design philosophies and pushing boundaries in architectural innovation. - **Sustainable Design:** Potential for integrating renewable energy, such as solar power, into architectural projects for a more eco-friendly future. - **Cross-disciplinary Collaboration:** Chance for architects to work with professionals from diverse fields, like fashion and transportation, to create unique and innovative designs. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture:** Architects can embrace unconventional ideas to create bold and groundbreaking structures. - **Renewable Energy:** Opportunity for renewable energy companies to collaborate with architects in implementing sustainable design solutions. - **Fashion:** Prospect for fashion designers to collaborate with architects in creating wearable tech such as solar-powered apparel. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Auto-Celebrating Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norman-foster1.md) - [Honoring Art Restoration Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/many-lives-of-the-nakagin-capsule-tower.md) - [Building Plan Design Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jean-nouvel-2.md) - [Sleek Spiralling Ramp Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/czech-pavilion.md) - [Retrospective Lighting Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carlo-nason.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formfunctional-archifurniture.md) - [Immersive Contemporary Design Showcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-living-archive.md) - [Segmented Lightflow Art Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-capsule-in-time.md) - [Design-Forward Funerary Urn Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funerary-urn.md)
