About Foster + Partners
Foster + Partners is a global architecture and design firm specializing in iconic large-scale projects across London, New York, Sydney, and Hong Kong, with portfolio values reaching tens of billions of dollars.
Founded in 1967 as Foster Associates, the firm was renamed Sir Norman Foster and Partners Ltd in 1992, and later abbreviated as Foster & Partners Ltd in 1999. Norman Foster, the founder and chairman, continues to lead the practice.
With over 1,500 employees across 13 locations worldwide, Foster & Partners is the largest architectural practice in the United Kingdom. In October 2021, Hennik & Company, a Canadian private investment group, acquired a majority stake in the firm, though Norman Foster retained operational control.
Foster & Partners has designed many prestigious projects that have become iconic landmarks globally, including London City Hall, the Hearst Tower in New York, Apple Park headquarters in the United States, and Apple Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. Among their most celebrated works is Beijing Capital International Airport, a masterpiece designed by Norman Foster himself. Their most recent project is the 2022 FIFA World Cup Stadium in Dubai.
