Quatrième de couverture

Norman Foster, Lord Foster of Thames Bank OM, is an architect whose career has spanned six decades. He has created landmarks across the globe that stand out for their innovative modernity and underlying concern for users. The Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California, the Millau Viaduct in France, and two new towers on Park Avenue in New York are all projects he has carried forward with his practice of Foster + Partners. He is one of the most outstanding architects of our time.

The forces and works that influence Norman Foster are both varied and complex. In this 368-page book, with nearly 1000 illustrations, the architect explains his roots, but also his sources, sweeping from aircraft to art, and reveals how his wide-ranging curiosity has formed the unique Networks that underlie his exceptional career.
