The two Fosters, Norman and his wife Wendy Ann, worked in the so called 'high technology' or 'high tech' as a method from late after- SGM brutalism toward industrial construction, interior large spaces and radical rationalism in exteriors. Big buildings were designed by their "Team 4 Architects", with Rogers and Wolton,also british, in the sixties of the Beatles and until 1967, when the couple became freelancers and worked through all the 1970 decade along.
To have a better notion (inductive) of their methods, visit Financial Center at Ipswich (Willis&Faber&Dumas) , two Technic Centers for IBM (Cosham/Portsmouth, Greenford) Visual Arts Center at East Anglia Un. The Fosters could be the creators of a nowadays useful neologism: 'interiorism' as a job. But they used to apply it, also, to monumental architectural art in Frankfurt (stadium) and several planifications for Hong Kong. The Radio Center of London (1984) has also Forest's signature.
Method__ more science than fantasy or 'gehryism'. He had the heritage of Monumental Art, skycrapes, CCCP's Big Offices, etc. But science can be also a surprising landscape or skyline. Don't forget Wendy Ann, even if the medals and medailons have been for Norman Robert. (Reddish, 1935). They were, also, scientific urbanists and thus worked as pioneers with IBM computers and plotters for creative matters. They also
co-worked with Buckminster Fuller. Find him, too.

Recognized as one of the world's great architects, Norman Foster (born 1935) is known for his complementary yet ultra-modern redesigns of classic buildings and for his simple, streamlined new structures. Called the "hero of high-tech," his architectural signature is a design that opens a building up to the public, is mindful of the environment, and saves money by using modern materials and advanced technology.

Norman Foster was born on June 1, 1935 in Manchester, England. From 1956 to 1962 he studied architecture at Manchester University's School of Architecture and at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. In 1963, he founded the Team 4 architectural practice along with Richard and Sue Rogers and Wendy Cheeseman, whom he later married.

Foster and his wife founded Foster Associates in London in 1967. This innovative firm was noted for its dedication to architectural detail and craftsmanship. Use was often made of prefabricated off-site manufactured elements and special components we re designed for particular projects. Foster Associates worked on transportation projects, large public structures, and modest houses. From 1968 to 1983, Foster collaborated with Richard Buckminster Fuller and others on the Climatroffice project. In 1969, he designed the administrative and leisure center for Fred Olsen, Ltd., in London.

In 1975, Foster designed the administrative headquarters for an insurance company, Willis, Faber and Dumas in Ipswich, England. For that building, Foster used modern materials and advanced technology to save money and energy. The curving building follows the irregular street patterns in the old market town. The exterior of the building is all glass. This creates the illusion that the open-plan offices extend out into the street. The roof is covered with grass, serving as insulation and creating a hanging garden. This building established Foster's reputation as an architect and won him the RIBA Trustees Medal in 1990. That same year he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth, giving him the title of Sir Norman Foster.

In the 1970s, Foster designed the Sainsbury Centre for the Visual Arts at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England. Dennis Sharp, in Twentieth Century Architecture: A Visual History said: "The Sainsbury Art Centre ... is described as a well-serviced metal-clad barn.... It is a highly tuned and well-engineered shed for art of considerable sophistication serving as a research institute with public access gallery. It was sponsored by private funds. The white walls and roofs take the form of continuous trusses and all services are housed within the 'outer wall zone'."
