Introduction by Kenneth Powell
Foster Associates Recent Works - Architectural Monograph No 20Sir Norman Foster, Principal of Foster Associates, is recognized as one of the world's leading architects. Royal Gold Medalist in 1983 and winner of the RIBA Trustees' Medal in 1990, he is soon to be invested with the gold Medal of the French Academy. In 1967 Norman and Wendy Foster established Foster Associates after several years of working with Richard Rogers. Perhaps best known internationally for the Hongkong Bank, Foster Associates have worked recently in Japan, France, Germany and Spain. The practice has received over 50 awards and commendations for outstanding architectural design, and has continued to hold a passionate belief in modern architecture and the adaptation of technology to meet human needs. While the work presented in this volume covers an enormous range of diverse projects, there is a consistency of excellence which is difficult to match. An introduction by Architecture Correspondent for the Daily Telegraph, Kenneth Powell, and a selection of writings by Norman Foster are also featured.
