The Norman Foster Foundation presents a new edition of the initial volume of the Norman Foster Sketchbooks series.

Originally published in 2020, the reprint is of great relevance for the readers to complete de five volumes collection.

The Norman Foster Sketchbooks series was launched in 2020 with this volume—now reprinted—that contains a selection of over 500 pages from the sketchbooks held in the Norman Foster Foundation Archive.

The Volume Zero initiated the Norman Foster Sketchbooks collection in 2020 and its content presents a selection of more than 500 pages from the original sketchbooks that are kept in the archive of the Norman Foster Foundation.

Norman Foster signs the prologue of this volume. An essential text to understand his relationship with drawing throughout his career as a vehicle for creation, for the expression of ideas, and, as he himself expresses, for starting a conversation.

‘Someone once said that if you ask Norman, he will do a drawing for you. I would add that, in all probability, he would be talking at the same time.’ Norman Foster, President, Norman Foster Foundation.

Four more detailed volumes covering five-year periods have subsequently been published: I, 1975-1980; II, 1981-1985; III, 1986-1990; IV, 1991-1995; and V, 1996-2000. The next Volume VI, 2001-2005, is scheduled for release in autumn 2025.

This work aims to showcase the extensive graphic production of the architect Norman Foster, which continues to be enriched with the drawings and designs he creates daily.
