The last few years have seen the completion of some of Foster's most ambitious projects to date. The new international airport at Chek Lap Kok is the largets construction project ever undertaken, and the rebuilding of the Reichstag in Berlin is politically and symbolically one of the most architectural commissions of recent years. This year alone has witnessed the opening of the Great Court at the British Museum, the Glasshouse at the National Botanic Garden of Wales, and the Millenium Bridge in London.
Forthcoming projects include the Headquarters for the Greater London Authority, Wembley Stadium, the Music Center in Gateshead, and the London Headquarters of Swiss Re.
This major catalogue reflects the wealth of Foster's oeuvre, offering the most comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the practice's work yet published. With descriptions of more than 120 buildings and projects, from the 1960's into the new millennium, the book's incisive texts explain the key features of the practice's most important work and cover the full range of the practice's activities as urban planners, architects, and industrial designers.
Introduced by Norman Foster and richly illustrated with key photographs and drawings, this book is an indispensable guide to the work of one of the world's leading architects.
