"The Norman Foster Studio offers a number of original revelations about the philosophy and design methods that have generated the design and 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 first steps in the world of architecture in The emergence of an architect. This is followed by an intensive dialogue between the author and each of the five members of the Foster partnership in The body of practice, bringing their different roles and perceptions within the Foster team into focus. At the core of this study lies Professor Ouantrill's provocative critique, in Construct, context and subtext, of some key Foster buildings and projects, including the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank and the Carre d'Art at Nimes, an analysis that departs radically from the more conventional Hi-Tech evaluation of this work."--Jacket.
