Foster + Partners is a global studio for architecture, urbanism and design, all rooted in sustainability and founded by Norman Foster in 1967. Since then, he and the team around him have established an international practice with a worldwide reputation. With offices across the globe, we work as a single studio that is both ethnically and culturally diverse.
We work at all scales and in all sectors. We create transformative cultural, corporate, residential and other spaces that work in synchronicity with their surroundings.
Zaha Hadid, founding partner of Zaha Hadid Architects, was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2004 and is internationally known for her built, theoretical and academic work. Each of her dynamic and innovative projects builds on over thirty years of revolutionary experimentation and research in the interrelated fields of urbanism, architecture and design.
Working with senior office partner Patrik Schumacher, Hadid’s interest is in the rigorous interface between architecture, landscape, and geology as the practice integrates natural topography and human-made systems that lead to experimentation with cutting-edge technologies. Such a process often results in unexpected and dynamic architectural forms.
In 1959, Owen Ayres founded Ayres Associates atop a steadfast foundation of honesty, innovation, and good old-fashioned hard work – and a vision for a firm that revolved around strong, reliable partnerships.
Decades (and thousands of rewarding partnerships) later, Ayres has grown to become a nationwide team of industry experts, representing some of the most inventive problem-solvers in the country. That team has planned, designed, and facilitated the creation of thousands of projects that keep our nation's infrastructure reliable and responsive.
