Foster 40

40 years, 40 projects, and 40 themes central to the success of Foster + Partners.
In 2007 Norman Foster celebrates 40 years of independent practice. Founded in 1967 as Foster Associates and now known as Foster + Partners, for over four decades his studio has grown to become one of the largest and most respected in the world. Since its inception, the practice has received more than 400 awards and citations for excellence and has won more than 70 international and national competitions. The new book celebrates 40 years of Foster's most important projects, together with 40 themes that have consistently underpinned his work. Echoing the spirit of Foster's architecture, the book itself is designed around a pioneering format which allows the content to be accessed interactively. This inventive volume provides an extraordinary view into the ideas that drive Foster's seemingly inexhaustible creative energy.
