LORD NORMAN FOSTER (1935-)
Foster was born in Manchester, England. Foster was in the UK Royal Air Force. After graduating from Manchester University School of Architecture and City Planning in 1961, Foster won a fellowship to Yale University where he earned a master's degree in Architecture. Foster met architect Richard Rogers at Yale. They formed a friendship and later collaborated as "Team 4" along with Sue Rogers, Gorgie Wolton, and his wife, Wendy Foster. This lasted until 1967 when Foster Associates was founded. His practice has received more than 190 awards and citations for excellence and won over 50 national and international competitions, including the Pritzker Prize. From 1968 to 1983, he worked closely with Buckminster Fuller. The death of Foster's wife in 1983 interrupted the last joint project between Foster and Fuller: two identical autonomous houses, designed with concentric geodesic domes, which were to be built in England and California as a family residence for each of them.
