福斯特建筑事務所簡介

福斯特建筑事務所是一家致力于可持續發展的全球性設計工作室，從事建筑、工程、城市和工業設計，由諾曼·福斯特于1967 年創立。從那時起，福斯特及其團隊便以享譽全球的周到和開創性設計開展了國際業務。事務所的辦公室遍布全球，都作為獨立的工作室在開展工作，關注種族和文化上的多元化。工作室將建筑技能與工程、結構和環境、城市主義、室內和工業設計、模型和電影制作、航空學等融合在一起——他們的工作環境類似一所緊湊的大學。這些不同的技能使他們有能力處理各種各樣的項目，特別是那些相當復雜和規模宏大的項目。設計是他們做事的核心。他們設計建筑、空間和城市；他們傾聽，他們質疑，他們創新。

工作室通過下列建筑項目建立了國際聲譽：如紐約圣瑪麗斧街30 號的赫斯特總部 ，俗稱小黃瓜的倫敦金融城，法國的高架橋，德國柏林的國會大廈，大英博物館的大法院，匯豐銀行香港和倫敦總部, 倫敦的ME 酒店, 法蘭克福的德國商業銀行總部，西班牙畢爾巴鄂地鐵，加里藝術中心(尼姆)，阿布扎比酋長國的馬斯達爾環保城，以及加州斯坦福大學的研究中心。最近的作品包括西棕櫚灘的諾頓藝術博物館、凱斯西儲大學的薩姆森展館和俄亥俄州的克利夫蘭診所、悉尼的杜奧中央公園、加州的蘋果總部、倫敦彭博社的新歐洲總部和費城的康卡斯特技術中心。目前，涉及到的項目包括瑞典的新斯魯森總體規劃、科威特國際機場以及紐約公園大道425 號。

今天，人口爆炸、不平等、快速城市化和環境退化等全球性挑戰給我們帶來了一系列獨特而復雜的問題。作為一個多技能的工作室，以可持續發展為驅動力，由建筑師領導，他們可以為解決這些沖突做出重要貢獻。?

Foster + Partners is a global studio for architecture, urbanism and design, rooted in sustainability,which was founded over fifty years ago in 1967 by Norman Foster. Since then, he and the team around him have established an international practice with a worldwide reputation for thoughtful and pioneering design, working as a single studio that is both ethnically and culturally diverse. The studio integrates the skills of architecture with engineering, both structural and environmental, urbanism,interior and industrial design, model and film making, aeronautics and many more — our collegiate working environment is similar to a compact university. These diverse skills make us capable of tackling a wide range of projects, particularly those of considerable complexity and scale. Design is at the core of everything that we do. We design buildings, spaces and cities; we listen, we question, and we innovate.

The studio has established an international reputation with buildings such as the Hearst Headquarters in New York, 30 St Mary Axe, popularly known as The Gherkin, in London, Millau Viaduct in France,the German Parliament in the Reichstag, Berlin, The Great Court for the British Museum, Headquarters for HSBC in Hong Kong and London, the ME Hotel in London, Commerzbank Headquarters in Frankfurt, the Metro Bilbao, the Carréd' Art N?mes, the sustainable Masdar development in Abu Dhabi, and research centres for Stanford University, California. Recent work includes the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Samson Pavilion for CWRU and Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, Duo Central Park in Sydney, Apple's headquarters in California, Bloomberg's new European headquarters in London and the Comcast Technology Center in Philadelphia. Currently, the practice is involved in projects such as the New Slussen Masterplan in Sweden, Kuwait International Airport, and 425 Park Avenue in New York.

Today, the global challenges of population explosion, inequality, rapid urbanisation and environmental degradation present us with a unique and complex set of problems. As a multi skilled studio, driven by sustainability and led by architects, we can make an important contribution to the resolution of these conflicts.
