The Klassnik Corporation

Been meaning to flag up this company for a while - The Klassnik Corporation.  I met Tomas Klassnik at a crit I went to watch at London Metropolitan unversity the other day. They describe themselves as 'a London based interdisciplinary design practice focused on architectural research'.   For me their work ticks all the boxes - both fun and functional. I particularly like the Bunk Bed Bus Stops - what Londoner wouldnt?

RIBA Regent Street Windows Project 2011

Just finished a project in May working with Scott Brownrigg helping to create an installation as part of RIBA's Regent Street Windows Project 2011. Hope to work with them again soon. :)

Design Synopsis: Advancements in technologies and communication will have a profound affect on the development of the Cities of Tomorrow. Despite their geographical distances, cities will become increasingly more connected and accessible in everyday life as the result of the ever growing use and impact of the internet on our lives.

Essentially we all live in a giant network of cities, where there are no boundaries. This will create new dimensions to architecture within tomorrow’s world. Reflecting this idea, each pyramid represents a City of Tomorrow; each city is effectively limitless, and forms part of this ever growing global network.

Cities are also symbolic of the manmade world, but it is a world which is gradually being destroyed by those who have created it. With the issues surrounding global warming becoming more evident in our lives, the dangers associated with excessive UV light as a result of ozone depletion will need to be addressed further. The coloured light from the pyramids represents these UV light issues, these will continue to cast themselves upon us as we live in our Cities of Tomorrow.
