The Interpretation of Norman Foster's Architectural Design Conception

Abstract:

Norman Foster is one of the most famous and successful architects all around the world today. So in this context, we interpret Norman Foster's architectural design conception, especially high-tech, ecological architectural environment and regional culture. The architectures designed by him have an intense sense of the times and are much environment-friendly. Meanwhile, Norman Foster commendably combined the buildings with place spirit and traditional cultures so that he could make them harmonious organically fuse and become a feature of cities' scenery line. In a word, analysis of Norman Foster's architectural design can provide inspiring and creative thinking ideas for architects.
