Book Description: 
Malcolm Quantrill first met Norman Foster in 1991, when he 
wrote an article on Foster's Tokyo Century Tower. The result 
was a collaboration between Qunatrill and the Foster studio 
in the production of this unique study of the Foster ethos.
The Norman Foster Studio offers a number of original 
revelations about the philosophy and design methods that have 
generated the reputation of the Foster studio over the past 
three decades. Quantrill's explorations begin with a 
distinctly personal account of Norman Foster's childhood and 
beginnings in the world of architecture, and continues with 
a dialohue between the author and each of the five members 
of the Foster parternship. At the core of this book is the 
provocative critique of some of Foster's key buildings and 
projects including the Joslyn Museum Extension in Omaha.
In the first truly comprehensive critique of the Foster 
oeuvre, the book is fully illustrated throughout and contains 
many original drawings by SirNorman Foster and much previously 
unpublished material from the practice archives.
