| 'on foster - foster on' edited by david jenkins © 2000 prestel verlag --- this book presents an anthology of writings on norman foster, and by foster, spanning 30 years – from the earliest days of the practice to the present. it includes discussion of all norman foster’s major buildings and projects, from early work with 'team 4' to recent landmarks such as the reichstag and hong kong international airport. with many drawings, sketches, photos... a sort of encyclopedia on foster. designboom loves this great book, because (we love all prestel books, you can really see they put a lot of passion in what they do) it's well documented, comprehensive and the printing quality is very high. it brings together for the first time roughly 50 essays by otl aicher, richard rogers, buckminster fuller !!!!!, kenneth frampton, charles jencks, robert maxwell and robert a m stern among many other respected commentators on architecture from the last three decades. alongside these writings are 50 essays by foster himself; part memoir and part manifesto, he addresses a diverse range of issues, from his development as an architect to environmental issues, new technologies and urban regeneration. integrated with the book is a cd-rom (project by deepend) for more info see http://www.prestel.com/prestel/PrestelServ.PrestelCOM?X=WELCOME |
