Foster and Partners is recognised as one of the world's leading architectural practices. This was confirmed in 1999 when Norman Foster was awarded the Pritzker Prize, the architectural equivalent of the Nobel Prize.
The last few years have seen the completion of some of Foster's most ambitious projects to date. The new international airport at Chek Lap Kok is the largest construction project ever undertaken and the rebuilding of the Reichstag in Berlin is politically and symbolically one of the most important architectural commissions of recent years. This year alone has witnessed the opening of the Great Court at the British Museum, the Glasshouse at the National Botanic Garden of Wales and the Millennium Bridge in London. With descriptions of more than 120 buildings and projects, from the 1960s into the new millennium, the book's incisive texts explain the key features of the practice's most important work. Introduced by Norman Foster and richly illustrated with key photographs and drawings, this book is an indispensable guide to the work of one of the world's leading architects
