AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Bořek Šípek (Prague, June 14, 1949 – there, February 13, 2016) was a prominent Czech architect and designer. He was known for his individual, unusual, colorful, and rich style. He experimented with unexpected and often lavish forms. His glass sculptures, in particular, enjoy great fame.
After studying at the Prague Academy of Fine Arts, he emigrated to Germany in 1968, the year of the Prague Spring. There, he studied architecture in Hamburg and philosophy in Stuttgart. In 1979, he earned his doctorate from Delft University of Technology. In 1983, he settled in Amsterdam, where he founded his own architecture and design studio. Following the Velvet Revolution in his homeland Czechoslovakia, he started an atelier in his hometown Prague in 1989.
After settling again in the Czech Republic, he was a professor of architecture and design at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague from 1990 to 1998. From 2005 to 2012, he was a professor and dean at the Faculty of Arts and Architecture at the Technical University of Liberec.
It is said that Bořek Šípek is the father of 'neobaroque.' His architectural works and other designs are known worldwide. He had offices in Amsterdam, Prague, and Shanghai.
During Václav Havel's presidency, he was the architect of Prague Castle. In Maastricht, he designed a glass sculpture at the entrance of the Maastricht University Library on Grote Looiersstraat.
Bořek Šípek was a knight in the French Order of Arts and Letters.
