Norman Foster

A free spirit of modernism, Sir Norman Foster has long been known for the brilliant way he brings natural light into the buildings he designs. This documentary explores the extraordinary range of work he has undertaken, focusing on the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, the Carré d’Art in Nîmes, Stansted Airport, and the Lycée Albert Camus in Frejus. The program also looks at some of Foster’s most recent projects, including the construction of the new Reichstag in Berlin—a daring masterpiece that combines traditional and modern elements with both courage and delicacy. Interviews with the architect’s current and former partners and colleagues are included as well. (50 minutes)
