With a career spanning more than six decades and several continents, Norman Foster is one of the most influential architects of the modern era. His work is characterized by relentless innovation and a holistic design approach. It has reshaped skylines and redefined the interaction of buildings with technology, society, and the environment.
This monograph presents his complete oeuvre―from his early collaborations with Richard Rogers and Richard Buckminster Fuller to the global megaprojects that established his star status from the 1980s onward. It also offers rare and fascinating insights into the evolving working environments of Foster + Partners, from a modest flat in Hampstead in the 1960s to today’s spacious, light-filled studio overlooking the Thames.
Foster’s architecture is distinguished by innovative modernity and a long-standing commitment to sustainability. He designed some of the world’s most iconic buildings: Apple Park in Cupertino, the Reichstag in Berlin, the Great Court of the British Museum in London, the Millau Viaduct in France, and the Zayed National Museum in Abu Dhabi.
With a comprehensive introductory essay and detailed profiles of more than 90 significant projects, this collection documents a lifetime of achievement and originality. Foster worked closely with the book’s author and designer, selecting photographs, drawings, and sketches from his personal archive. These, along with designs for furniture and furnishings, reveal his meticulous attention to detail at every scale―making the book not only a definitive architectural chronicle but also an intimate portrait of its creator.
