NORMAN
FOSTER: A GLOBAL ARCHITECTURE
Sir Norman Foster's architectural projects have transformed cityscapes,
renewed vital transportation hubs and rejuvenated town centres. His commissions
include the reconstruction of the Reichstag in Berlin and the new Hong Kong
international airport. This work showcases, with photographs and sketches,
plans and models, Foster's far-reaching genius, which combines technological
prowess and global-minded design philosophy. Produced in conjunction with
Foster's office, this volume includes depiction of the Valencia Congress
Center and the Great Court at the British Museum. Including a chronological
survey of the architect's career, and essays on industrial architecture,
deep-plan buildings, energy and urbanism, this is a tribute to a figure
who continues to impact upon architecture and urban planning
