Book excerpt: The Norman Foster Foundation presents the introductory volume of 'Norman Foster Sketchbooks 1975-2020', a new series reflecting Foster?s career from the 1970s until nowadays, through his personal sketchbooks.00?Norman Foster is a born draughtsman, specially gifted for sketching, and his drawings are particularly brilliant in their capacity for synthesis?. describes Jorge Sainz. As he puts it, ?His graphism has certainly evolved through time, but it maintains that economy of means characteristic of people who, besides a good hand for drawing, have very clear ideas.?00Edited by Jorge Sainz, Norman Foster Sketchbooks 1975-2020 is the introductory title from a compilation of several volumes that will follow the work of Norman Foster in chronological decades, with two volumes published each year.00The architectural sketchbook is a place where a particular kind of drawing happens; it is something very personal, reflective and portable. Through the sketches, drawings and notes, readers can trace how Foster?s complex concepts are made manifest and develop on paper.00This introductory volume of the Norman Foster Foundation?s Sketchbooks series presents more than 546 drawings, making this a comprehensive collection of Foster?s sketchbook drawings from which he offers insights into the design process of not only his most influential projects but also of his inspirations.
