| Abstract: | The article focuses on Norman Foster's architectural contributions, particularly his latest project, the 270 Park Avenue office tower for JPMorgan Chase in New York City. It discusses Foster's innovative designs, including the HSBC building in Hong Kong and the Hearst Tower, highlighting his use of glass and steel to create unique structures. However, the article also critiques Foster's recent work, particularly the controversial demolition of the old Union Carbide building and the perceived lack of public accessibility in the new design, contrasting it with the openness of his earlier projects. The piece reflects on the evolving nature of architecture in a contemporary context, emphasizing the tension between corporate needs and public space. [Extracted from the article] |
