Norman Foster - Major Project Research





These are some images of various workes by Foster and Partners. I have looked into the bracing systems employed by Foster in his designs. Particularly in the Sainsbury Centre for the visual arts (directly above), incorporating class connecting with steel bolting and a space-truss system.

The Beijing Airport Terminal above shows a good basic bracing and connection system.

The photos of the Law Faculty at Cambridge gives a fantastic view of glass panelling throughout and steel connections. It is attractive and could be used for a factory construction.
