Norman Foster est une figure incontournable de l'architecture internationale, dont l'œuvre a été récompensée par de multiples prix, dont le prestigieux Pritzker Prize. Sa trajectoire singulière l'aura d'abord conduit de Manchester jusqu'à l'université Yale, où il s'est rapproché de Richard Rogers, l'un des créateurs du Centre Pompidou, avec lequel il va fonder sa première agence. Au fil des années, Norman Foster s'est penché sur tous les types de programmes : maisons, écoles, musées, sièges d'entreprise, gratte-ciel, aménagements urbains, installations maritimes, lignes de métro et aéroports. Au total, ce sont plus de 400 projets qui ont été conçus par son agence, Foster + Partners. Disséminées dans le monde entier, ses réalisations iconiques ont transformé le visage et l'organisation de nombreux espaces urbains. S'il a pu être considéré comme une figure importante du courant high-tech en raison du haut degré d'innovation technologique dont témoignent ses constructions, Norman Foster a privilégié une architecture respectueuse de l'environnement, soucieuse de réconcilier biosphère et technosphère - une architecture vivante, tournée vers un futur résolument écologique.

This book provides a beautiful visual record that celebrates the practice's remarkable breadth of works - both built and unbuilt. For the first time ever, Portfolio features photography of every project completed in the practice's first five decades, as well as drawings of its most important unrealised designs.

Structural engineering and architecture are both closely related to creative design. Both disciplines are diverse and different but there is a close interaction between the two as they both shape the primary elements composing a building. Reinforcing a transdiciplinary approach and emphasizing the overlap between structural engineering and architecture can significantly increase the quality of a project. Belgian engineers Ney & Partners have been fortunate to be entrusted with this role by their clients, architects and contractors who share the believe that buildings should only be designed through a collaborative process. Based on a selection of building projects, this book aims to illustrate what is possible whenan intensive dialogue between all the parties involved leads to an integrated design og building structures.
