'''Future Systems''' was a London-based [[architecture|architectural]] and design practice, formerly headed by Directors [[Jan Kaplický]] and [[Amanda Levete]].

Future Systems was founded by Kaplický and David Nixon after working with [[Denys Lasdun]], [[Norman Foster, Baron Foster of Thames Bank|Norman Foster]], [[Renzo Piano]], and [[Richard Rogers]] in 1979. The work of Future Systems can be classified within the British high-tech architects as either [[bionic architecture]] or amorphous, organic shapes sometimes referred to as "[[blobitecture]]". "Compared to his peers, Kaplicky was the avant-garde incarnate, relentlessly pursuing the new new thing, refusing to settle into some predictable, and comfortable, architectural niche."<ref>"Jan Kaplicky, a visionary, dies" Architectural Record, March 2009, p.27</ref>
