Norman Foster's six-decade career gets a retrospective treatment at the Centre Pompidou Paris
A new retrospective exhibition covering the six-decade career of Norman Foster will go on display at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Opening May 7th, the large (23,680-square-foot) exhibition, designed by Foster and the Norman Foster Foundation, will focus on themes of "sustainability and anticipating the future." According to the architect: “The birth of the practice in the 1960s coincided with the first signs of an awareness of the fragility of the planet. These were the green shoots of what would later be named The Green Movement. These principles may now be mainstream, but more than half a century ago, they were revolutionary and anticipated the reality of today. Throughout the decades, we have sought to challenge conventions, reinvent building types and demonstrate an architecture of light and lightness, inspired by nature, which can be about joy as well as being eco-friendly.”Read the full post on Bustler
