Catalogue
"Foster and Partners is one of the most significant architectural practices in the world today, a fact recognised by Norman Foster's receipt of the Pritzker Prize in 1999 and the Praemium Imperiale in 2002 - marks of the highest international distinction for achievement in architecture and the arts." "The last few years have seen some of Foster's most remarkable and ambitious projects around the world. In London, the Swiss Re headquarters - the capital's first ecological tall building - has become a popular landmark, while the arch of the new Wembley Stadium is already a familiar element on the skyline. In New York the distinctive headquarters tower for the Hearst Corporation pioneers new en...
Norman Foster

Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts
KEYNOTE: This volume follows the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts' entire evolution, from conception through the addition of the Crescent Wing in the 1980s and the building's recent renovation, all designed and executed by Foster + Partners. With the donation in 1973 of their extraordinary art collection to the University of East Anglia, Norwich, Sir Robert and Lady Sainsbury sought to establish the Sainsbury Centre as an academic and social focus within the campus. They believedthat the study of art should be an informal, pleasurable experience, one not bound by the traditional enclosure of object and viewer. As a result the Sainsbury Centre is much more than a conventional gallery. The ori...

Building Sharjah
Building Sharjah reveals how modern architecture unfurled across the United Arab Emirates’ third-largest city. An oil discovery in 1972 positioned Sharjah as one of the world’s final cities shaped by transformative fortune. In the footsteps of Kuwait, Riyadh, and Dubai, Sharjah faced a metamorphosis: either one that repeated the past’s mistakes or one that reimagined how wealth can build a city. Sharjah’s potential enticed an international cast of experts to create a bold, new city. As their projects begin to vanish, this book preserves them through unseen photographs and recovered documents. New writing chronicles how local and arriving residents arranged the designed, concrete environment into a home. Beyond just a local artifact, this book examines the confident promises made by global practices of urbanization.
Building with History
Celebrating three decades of the architect's magnificent work, this book profiles some of Norman Foster's most significant projects, including his remodeling of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
