Hello everyone:
Today I going to write about my favorite architect Norman Foster, he have 80 years old (he was born in 1 June 1935) and is one of the famous architects of United Kingdom, not for nothing, in 1999 he was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize (as the same of Nobel prize in Architecture), therefore the prominent Norman Foster still doing its job with him team - Foster + Partners.
What I like most of him architecture are the sophisticated designs, the structural construction and the green, sustainable energy ideas with technology includes in different projects (for example, in Hearst Tower Atrium, the tower’s rainwater is collected for us in systems like water sculpture, icefall etc.) as well, the another interesting point of this architect  has tried to transmit the design and the conceptualization beyond of the exterior, because he was characterized the interior with the most ambitious constructions.


If you wonder what works they are known of Foster? Is simple, the London Millennium Tower stands out among every buildings there, and the Millau Viaduct as the highest bridge tower in the world.

This is my favorite architect and the phrase that most caught my attencion is: 
 "Architecture can communicate memory, but it can also communicate values and a sense of place."
