The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.








All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks.












Every great architect is - necessarily - a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age.

Control is the wrong word. The practice is very much about sharing, and, in any creative practice, some individuals, whether partners or directors, are much closer to certain projects than I could ever be.

Norman Foster
