How Much Does Your Building Weigh, Mr. Foster?

Artist, innovator, visionary: architect Norman Foster is all this and more. From humble, working-class beginnings in Manchester to internationally-renowned leading light, Foster is as talented as he is dedicated, and the seemingly effortless lyricism of his architectural designs led to Foster's nickname - the Mozart of Modernism. From the kooky yet simplistic characteristics of New York's Hearst Tower to the elegant and powerful way the Reichstag acknowledges history while looking to a new Germany, Foster's designs are creative, thoughtful, dynamic and ever-unique.
