As Senior Executive Partner and Head of Studio, Grant Brooker leads a network of creative teams working across Europe, China, the Middle East, and USA. In a career with Foster + Partners that has spanned more than three decades, he has guided the studio through significant expansion and change, setting up offices in Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Warsaw, two of them in towers designed by the practice at the Nanshan Technology City and Varso Tower. In the 1990’s, Grant relocated to Hong Kong to lead the design team for Hong Kong’s International Airport, the world’s largest building at the time at Chek Lap Kok. His experience in designing airports would later extend to Tocumen International Airport, in Panama City, Marseille Provence Airport, France, the world’s first commercial spaceport in New Mexico and CPK, Poland’s new international transportation hub. His portfolio also spans cultural landmarks, such as Narbo Via, a museum of Roman antiquities, the Marseille Vieux Port, Zénith de St Etienne concert hall, and a host of residential, mixed-use developments and masterplans from Edinburgh to Marseille. Grant has also built a strong reputation for delivering successful commercial buildings around the world, from the ITN Building to Amazon’s headquarters at Principal Place in London, DJI Sky City Headquarters and China Merchants Bank in Shenzen. Grant studied Architecture at the Canterbury College of Art College, and his belief in the visual arts and the power of designers to create real change continues in the studio’s work and oversight of the practice’s Visualisation and Film team. Committed to breaking down barriers in the profession, Grant believes that Foster + Partners thrives on its rich mix of design talent drawn from many different backgrounds, cultures, and nationalities.
