Foster has always been considered a thoughtful architect. His early works, although smaller, do reflect his concern for the well being of the user. However, his later works, considerably larger and more complex, are much more grandeous and to my way of thinking further removed from what where Foster's earlier primary core values. Most disappointing for me are the enormous proposed projects for Middle East countries, Moscow, and satellite Soviet countries. Those proposed commercial projects reflect the overblown ambitions of both the client and Foster's vision of the future. Have fame and fortune finally overtaken Foster thinking? As a retired architect I had hoped Foster would have channeled his and his firm's talent in a different direction.
It's interesting to see how an architect's vision can evolve over time. Your perspective as a retired architect adds a lot of depth to this discussion. It's always a balance between ambition and core values, isn't it?
Well, it was a bit long but, very well done. I had no idea of the numbers and importance of his works. I'm a big fan of FLW and now Foster is going to be a up there as someone I will enjoy learning more about his career.
Thank you! This is the idea of this Chanel, learn from the masters and let people know who are the current masters and from where they learn. Wright always will be a reference from all of them. Including the time in America. I’ve been in London many times and it’s amazing visiting his projects. Thank you for watching.
Hi, thank you for sharing. As an Architect, also I have visited on site the building, I agree in one thing, I do not believe that the site is the correct breaking the urban area that it is a typical low density. For me it is a monster inside the city, but we are discussing their work itself. At the end, placement was for other reasons but I agree with your comment. Thank you for sharing!
@@Brian-ti6tt The video voice is AI, due I am no native english speaker, but all the content is made by ourselves, an architect firm based in Miami Beach, with huge knowledge of master of architecture based on my university of architecture from Barcelona.
Aah I see. I prefer a more natural approach myself especially in narration, I like it when it sounds like someone is chatting to me as if I’m right there with them instead of a radio-announcer type (possibly AI) voiceover 😅 But I see you’re interested in FLW. I was taught he was a Modernist but I think he was a Critical-Regionalist Art Deco architect. Which of your vids do you recommend for me on Frank Lloyd Wright?
@@Dev1nci Thank you for sharing, due I am not native in english I use some help for better diction but I hope soon I can create more personal videos. Thank you!
Thank you for posting 🙏🏛….. you did not mention in your post text summary about NF first high-rise HSBC HK which is well advance in its time and in some aspects until now. How he won the competition is mind boggling too, convincing the jury even though NF has no prior high-rise experience. You quickly jump into mentioning his Berlin building and Apple. Also in your cover page for youtube, its not NF in the photo, please correct. Thank you again
@@elmadi7391 Hi, I have checked and the HSBC HK is the financial center that it is in the description, no called with its name. But I will put a note on it. Thank you!
@@fzarchitecture HSBC HK were only mentioned in your video, not in the written description. HSBC HK is milestone for NF since its it his first high rise. Also do correct the old person in your post cover page, its definitely not NF and its misleading 😞

I feel grateful for having the opportunity to live part of my life in the same time as this genius
It's truly amazing to appreciate the brilliance of those who inspire us. We're lucky to witness such genius in our time!
Can’t wait to watch this!
Thank you for your enthusiasm! I can’t wait for you to see it and hear your thoughts!

Ipswich is not in the north west. It is as east as you can get.
Thank you for you clarification.
1:07:16 It is more refferred to as "the tampon" and can tell that most of londoners do not like it

" most powerful " is an AI term...I like NF because like me, he cycles...not a Rogers fan. Corb changed the world not NF...narration is terrible.
Totally get where you’re coming from! NF’s cool and all, but Corb really does have that world-changing vibe. Plus, cycling is the best! 🚴♂️
@danglybit1 This is read by so-called "AI", right? Was the whole thing put together by AI?

The thumbnail is an AI approximation of Norman Foster?
I have to say yes based on his pictures.
@@fzarchitecture Why?
@@Dev1nci Good question, you make me embarrassing for that, but I was testing new thumbtack to see conversions to clicks. To be honest!
