NORMAN FOSTER


He was born in 1935 in Cheshire in England. As a child he showed great art talent, he was interested in the architectural work of Frank Lloyd Wright and Ludwig Mies Van Der Roh. He studied at University of Manchester's School of Architektura and City Planning. He got a stipendium at Yale University at New Haven and he got Master's degree.

In 1963 he set up an architectural company as Team 4 with his wife Wendy Foster and their friends Richard Rogers and his wife Sue Rogers. But they had a diferent opinions so they broke up later.

And Foster did his own company called Foster + Partners in 1967. As partners he chose David Nelson, David Summerfield, Gerard Evenden, Grant Brooker, Luke Fox, Matthew Streets, Nigel Dancey, Spencer de Grey and Stefan Behling. 

We can see a lot of his work for example Khan Shatyr, The Gherkin and so on.
