Norman Foster by Martin Pawley
Sir Norman Foster is one of Britain’s most talented and prolific contemporary architects. Some of the most challenging projects of the modern age count among his commissions: from the reconstruction of the Reichstag in Berlin to Hong Kong International Airport. This stunning book showcases in colour photographs, sketches, plans and models, Foster’s far-reaching genius, which combines peerless technological prowess with a global-minded design philosophy. It includes Foster’s Valencia Congress Centre and the Great Court at the British Museum.
Martin Pawley (1938–2008) was a distinguished writer on architecture. Over a forty year career he contributed to, or edited, every major British architectural journal, wrote for all the leading international magazines, and was architecture critic for the Observer and the Guardian.
