Humanitas Visiting Professorship in Architecture

Norman Foster

Late November saw Norman Foster once again serve as Humanitas Visiting Professor in Architecture.

Norman Foster is one of the most important architects practising in the world today. He is chairman and founder of Foster + Partners, based in London, with project offices worldwide. Over the past four decades the practice has pioneered a sustainable approach to architecture and ecology through a strikingly wide range of work, from public infrastructure, airports, civic and cultural buildings and workplaces to private houses and product design. He became the 21st Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate in 1999 and was awarded the Praemium Imperiale Award for Architecture in 2002. In 2009, he became the 29th laureate of the prestigious Prince of Asturias award for the Arts.
