Norman Foster Sketchbooks Volume III: 1986-1990

A continuation of the published series on the contents of the sketchbooks of Norman Foster, a project which began in 2020 with a selection that gave an overview of Foster’s entire output in the period between 1975 and 2020. Volume I covers the six years from the first archived sketchbook (1975) to the official designation of Foster Associates as architects of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank (1980). Volume II then spans the period 1981–1985, with a total of 210 sketchbooks. Volume III covers a period of major reorganisation within Foster’s practice and includes more than 700 drawings gathered from 123 sketchbooks. Like the previous volumes, it is thematically structured.
