Norman Foster Sketchbooks Volume VI - 2001-2005

This volume in the sketchbooks series marks the beginning of the 21st century and includes nearly 300 illustrations taken from 72 sketchbooks. As in previous volumes, the structure of the book is thematic, with the first part on architecture, arranged by individual projects, and an additional section devoted to further schemes scarcely developed in the sketchbooks. The section on professional practice has been reinstated in this volume, with parts on furniture and objects included as well. The end of this five-year period would be significant for Foster: at the age of 70, and with no intention of retiring, he reorganised the firm to become Foster + Partners in 2006.
