Architecture is About People

Norman Foster was born in Manchester in 1935. After completing his studies at the School of Architecture and City Planning of the University of Manchester in 1961, he received a scholarship from Yale University, where he earned a Master's Degree in Architecture.

In 1963, he founded Team 4 together with Richard Rogers. Foster Associates was founded in 1967 and later renamed Foster and Partners. Since its founding, the firm has been awarded over 220 prizes and honorable mentions, and has won 50 national and international competitions.

In 1983, Norman Foster received the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA); in 1991 he was presented with the Gold Medal of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). The French Ministry of Culture named him Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters in 1994. He was knighted in 1990 and appointed to the Order of Merit in 1997. In 1999, Foster became the 21st recipient of the Pritzker Prize for Architecture, and in the same year, he was honored with a Life Peerage and awarded the title Lord Foster of Thames Bank.
