Norman Foster
Born in 1935 at Manchester, graduated in 1961 from Manchester University for Architecture and City planning. He was awarded the Henry scholarship for Yale University where he completed his architecture studies. In 1999, he won the Pritzker award and in 2002 he was awarded the Premium Impriela award for architecture. He won the gold medal of architecture from the American architect institute in 1994, the Royal architecture gold medal in 1983 and the gold medal from the French architecture academy a year later. In 1990, he was awarded a knight title and was given a royal title, naming him Lord Foster. Among his works is the world’s Reichstag building in Berlin, the great court in the British Museum in London, the Millennium bridge, the Hong Kong and Beijing airports, the university campus for the Malaysia governmental oil company and the Hearst headquarters in NYC. His approach to product design is identical to his architectural design approach: “The smallest details in a building from the door handles to the sinks, are often considered easy and taken for granted but those elements are all creating the building as a whole. It’s miniature architecture – they need to be functional and user-friendly and hold ergonomic, sensual and aesthetics qualities.”
