Always inspiring. Amazed by his energy at his age. He surely deserves a true biography of his personal life. The one by Deyan Sudic is kind of superficial and only focusing on his architecture. Long live Sir Norman Foster!
That was an inspiring talk. I think he possibly missed a very significant influence. I live on a road in Levenshulme called the Crescent (Mrs. Whites house) which was intersected by another road that has standard box houses, except the one on the end. This has a triangular-shaped end, to match the crescent shape. I remember a cruel psychology experiment where new kittens were only introduced to horizontal lines, they could not understand verticals and would walk into table legs. I saw Norman outside this house once it is where he was bought up in a house that was not a box but also had triangles, he does not just see boxes. We are now trying to develop the old library as a multi discipline collaborative arts space.

What happened in the end, it seems there was a cut in the end...
