This special examination of the life and work of Norman Foster
culminates in a focus on 50 projects from the 21st century, spanning
more than 300 pages of photos, drawings and in-depth analyses. The
monograph is the lengthiest in the magazine’s history, following as its
guiding thread the celebrated architect’s desire to find generic
solutions to unique problems. ‘Influences’, an insightful and extensive
essay by Foster himself, introduces readers to how his background and
outlook have shaped his architecture. Foster expresses his fascinations
with vernacular tradition, the history of landscaping and how
Buckminster Fuller remains a formative influence.
