Norman Foster was born in Stockport, England in 1935. He has been known to have been inspired by the works of Frank Loyd Wright, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier. In 1967 Wendy Cheeseman and Norman Foster founded Foster and Partners. The company currently works with engineering firms to perfect the most simple laws of physics. They integrate the laws such as convection, into the archetural designs.His designs have been seen all across the world projecting visual images that reflect his intellectual and modern style. His early works were focused on a very high tech vision but have since evolved into a more subtle and whimsical modernity. Foster tries to incorrporate a sense of air or floating-like quality in a number of his works. The buildings in which he has designed have a very prominant sense of roundness and depth. In someof his works the buildings apear to have been blown up with air or deflated. As seen in the images below.
