This exhibition investigates the work of the world-renowned architectural studio led by Norman Foster, through the lens of sustainability. Focusing on the important of human experience in the design of the built environment, it also shines a light on Foster + Partners' integrated approach to design that combines expertise from several disciplines from engineering and research to industrial design. This approach brings unique design solutions that are tailored to the site, its context, users and culture. A wide overview of the practice's work, the exhibition also asks pertinent questions about the future of the built environment, inviting the audience to creatively speculate about what their surroundings may be like over the next fifty years.
Foster + Partners is a global studio for architecture, urbanism and design, rooted in sustainability, which was founded in 1967 by Norman Foster. Since then, he and the team around him have established an international practice with a worldwide reputation for thoughtful and pioneering design, working as a single studio that is both ethnically and culturally diverse. The studio integrates the skills of architecture with engineering, both structural and environmental, urbanism, interior and industrial design, model and film making, aeronautics and many more – our collegiate working environment is similar to a compact university. These diverse skills make us capable of tackling a wide range of projects, particularly those of considerable complexity and scale. Design is at the core of everything that the studio do. They design buildings, spaces and cities; they listen, we question and innovate.
