建築大師佛斯特(Norman
Foster)於1935年6月1日出生於英國的曼徹斯特,他於曼徹斯特大學攻讀建築及都市規劃(1956~61),畢業後,於1961年他得到耶魯大學的Henry研究基金,並在那裡得到建築碩士學位(1961~62)。受到英、美的建築專業訓練與學院派薰陶,養成其人本關懷與科技訴求兼具包容之一貫理念。他與英國另一位著名建築師李察羅傑斯(Richard
Rogers)共同組成四人小組(“Team 4”),直到1967年才自立門戶。其特有之高科技建築風格,不但在英國本土受重視,並也廣被世界各地推崇,使其成為繼詹姆斯史特林(JamesStirling)之後,英國當代最具國際聲望之建築大師。
他是高技派(High-tech)建築師的代表人物。他以設計金融證券類商業建築和機場建築而聞名。1986年建成的香港匯豐銀行令他在國際建築界聲名鵲起,隨後的法蘭克福商業銀行,香港新機場更令其聲望在建築界達到頂峰,霍朗明因帝國戰爭博物(Duxford)館獲斯特林獎;2004年,再因俗稱小黃瓜的倫敦摩天樓聖瑪麗斧街30號折桂。他是第二位兩次獲得斯特林獎的英國建築師。他也是1999年的普利茲克獎得主。

Norman Foster早期之作品(1970-1979),設計手法簡潔明快,造型處理呈高貴優雅之姿,細部構造強調精確性高複雜度科技化,如Dumas
Insurance Offices,the Hongkong & Shanghai BankHeadquarters,其中期之作品(1980-1994),除表現其一貫高科技設計風格,更逐漸融入兼具人本關懷與環境生態保護之設計理念,如Stansted
Airport, the ITN Headquarters,Commerzbank Headquarters,Frankfurt,而其近期之作品,則進而關切舊都市中心再發展之議題,如Millennium
Bridge,World Square for All等規劃設計案。
