"Make no little plans. Make big plans."
Opening Soon! Discover the visionary world of Norman Foster, one of the most celebrated architects of our time, and his award-winning design studio Foster + Partners, in a fascinating new exhibition celebrating architecture and design. With a global portfolio and the prestigious Pritzker Prize for Architecture, Foster and his team's innovative designs have reshaped urban landscapes and redefined modern living.
This installation showcases models and designs from iconic projects including the Museo del Prado in Madrid, the Great Court of the British Museum, and Apple Park in Cupertino, California, organized by three themes: Working with History, Embracing the Environment, and Community and Culture.
“Foster + Partners: Architecture of Light and Space” opens Friday, October 19 in Gallery 18.
This exhibition is made possible with the collaboration of the Norman Foster teams in London, Madrid, and Los Angeles, and coincides with the designation of the San Diego/Tijuana region as the 2024 World Design Capital.
Featured: Foster + Partners models on view in "Foster + Partners: Architecture of Light and Space"
Voiceover of Lord Norman Foster paraphrasing architect Daniel Burnham says, "Make no little plans. Make big plans, because a logical diagram will never die. And he talks about the importance of order. He talks about the beacon of beauty. So, I thought that was perhaps inspirational for all of our endeavors."
