Over the course of more than fifty years, the prolific oeuvre of British architect Norman Foster has earned worldwide renown for its innovative approach and environmental commitment.
This issue of AV Monografías magazine is devoted to Norman Foster and gathers fifty works and projects developed in the 21st century. Produced in close collaboration with the architect, the monograph begins with an essay in which Norman Foster takes stock of his influences, and continues with an article by Luis Fernández-Galiano
Structured in eight thematic groups, the index list includes works like the Trafalgar Square Redevelopment in London, the Free University Library in Berlin, Hearst Tower in New York or Spaceport America in New Mexico, as well as recent projects like Châteaux Margaux in Bordeaux or the recent studies for the construction of lunar settlements.
