Description
This unique critical appraisal of the work of Foster & Partners offers a number of original revelations about the philosophy and design methods that have generated the designs and reputation of the Foster studio over the past three decades. The author begins with a distinctly personal account of Norman Foster's first steps in the world of architecture and goes on to discuss some key buildings which have become symbols of our time.
