Norman Foster was born on June 1, 1935, in Reddish, England. He left school at the age of 16 to work as a town hall clerk, later going on to work in engineering as part of the Royal Air.

Norman went on to study architecture at the University of Manchester and won accolades for his drawing work, developing a lifelong passion for sketching. He later earned a scholarship to Yale University’s School of Architecture, earning his master’s in 1962.

While at Yale, Foster met Richard Rogers. In 1963, Foster, along with Richard formed the architectural organization Team 4.

In 1967 Norman Foster established his own firm called Foster Associates (later Foster + Partners).

Foster was knighted in 1990 and received a life peerage nine years later. He has received an array of additional honors that include the 1983 Royal Gold Medal for Architecture and the 1999 Pritzker Prize.

The exterior of Hearst Tower boasts an innovative glass and steel diagrid design, which makes for a modern look that is unlike any other skyscraper in North America.

The glass egg on the banks of the Thames between the cruiser Belfast and Tower Bridge is the residence of the Mayor of Greater London and his administration.

A 40-storey skyscraper in London, the structure of which is made in the form of a mesh shell with a central support base. Residents for the greenish tint of the glass and its characteristic shape call it "cucumber", "gherkin".

This is the highest road bridge at least in Europe, and at most in the world. It is built on a cable-stayed system — that is, the bridge actually hangs in the air, but is supported by a special structure of rigid supports and flexible steel cables.

The stadium's facilities are designed to maximise spectator enjoyment; the seats are larger than before, with much more leg-room. One of the things that make the stadium special is the retractable roof, which ensures that the spectator experience is comfortable in all weathers.

British architect Norman Foster declared himself to the whole world as one of the founders of the high-tech style. His designs have always been distinguished by an abundance of glass and mesh shells. Thus, Norman Foster, a prominent architect of our time, winner of the Pritzker Prize can be attributed to the outstanding architects of the world. Its architectural monuments (Hearst Tower in New York, City Hall in London, The Mary Axe, “Viaduct Via”, Wembley Stadium) ​adorn cities in many countries around the world.
