SIR NORMSN FOSTER - A LEGEND

After some research on the web, I came across a birthday wish.... Sir Norman Foster has turned 75 today. Here is a recap for those whom don't know or remember him - He was born on the 1st of June 1935.
In 1963 he and three partners started an architectural firm and named it TEAM 4, however the firm did not last long and it was dissolved with each of them heading their separate ways. Foster and Wendy Cheesman (a former partner of TEAM 4) teamed up and founded Foster and Associates, this later became the FOSTER + PARTNERS.

Here are just a few amazing works by which I'm sure you would have come across:

GLA Building, London, UK


Chep Lap Kok Airport, Hong Kong.

The Gherkin, London, UK.

Hearst Tower, New York, USA
