Norman Foster is a globally recognized figure in architecture. His agency
has created more than 300 projects around the world, many of which
have profoundly marked and transformed the cities and landscapes in
which they reside. This new monograph, published in partnership with the
Centre Pompidou, presents more than 80 of Foster's key projects, from
the Cockpit (1964), a private house in Cornwall, through to Spaceport
America (2006-2014), the world's first terminal for space tourists, built
in the desert landscape of New Mexico. Each project is illustrated with
drawings, sketches and photographs, placed alongside insightful text. The
book also features an essay by Frédéric Migayrou, curator of an attendant
Centre Pompidou exhibition on Foster; a biography by celebrated
architectural critic, Philip Jodidio; and an extensive interview with Foster
himself. Foster has also contributed an anthology of six analytical texts,
written across the broad span of his career.
