About This Book
Norman Foster. Works is Taschen's comprehensive monograph on one of the most influential architects of the past six decades. Assembled with Foster's direct involvement, the book draws on his personal archives to trace a career defined by restless innovation and a holistic approach to design — from early collaborations with Richard Rogers and Buckminster Fuller through to the global superprojects that established his reputation from the 1980s onward.
Key Features
An expansive introductory essay and detailed profiles of more than 90 key projects, including Apple Park, the Reichstag, the British Museum's Great Court, the Millau Viaduct, and the Zayed National Museum. Includes unpublished sketches and images handpicked by Foster from his own archives.
What You'll Discover
How Foster's practice evolved from a modest 1960s Hampstead flat to the light-filled studio of Foster + Partners today; his engagement with technology, sustainability, and the social role of buildings; and rare glimpses into his design process through sketches, drawings, and studies for furniture and fittings.
