Overview

This is a unique critical appraisal of the work of Foster and Partners from their early years through to projects completed in the 1990s. Their award-winning buildings have become symbols of our time: the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, Hong Kong; Stansted Airport, UK; Century Tower, Japan; and the Nimes Mediatheque, France, to name just a few. In the first truly comprehensive critique of the Foster oeuvre , the author charts the evolution of the office with particular emphasis on the philosophy and design process that contributes to making its work so remarkable. The book is fully illustrated throughout and contains much previously unpublished material from the practice archives.
