[@wen6919]

Such an inspiring talk! Especially the part that he gave suggestions: "By questioning, and by challenging, by having a degree of determination, and conviction, and enthusiasm, and passion, that you can really make a difference to the world, the everyday world that we all live in." Being so experienced as he is, after so many years, he's still such a dreamer.

Sir Norman Foster is one architect I admire very much, a great genius that brings modern design and top functionality of space so seamlessly together. His great designs will live on forever into the future.

[@SamDandashli]

Norman Forster is without a doubt an architect who is inspirational. I really enjoyed viewing this video. Normans view of the world is necessary and its architecture such as his that the world should aspire to exemplify. The built environment is certainly much better with Norman Foster's approach to architecture.

[@thelouisianachannel]

[@TheJournalofBiophilicDesign]

Beautiful and inspiring interview with Norman Foster, a true artist architect. "An architect's task is to be a good listener, and to hear the many voices that the needs that building will answer." It's like he sculpts with the light he captures and draws into his buildings. The Maggie's Centre is just one of the most beautiful and "safe" places, very sensitive design embracing nature. Marc-Christoph Wagner is a really good interviewer here too. Thank you!

Norman Foster architecture is such an influence into my architecture studies. (Am an architecture graduate) The way he approaches architecture, his airport designs, skyscrapers, full of light designs. Amazing. Thanks Great Master

[@kunzangdolma2163]

The background music with the architecture was very good, it certainly made the interview better

[@bemnetsileshi5222]

The Bussiness side of Architecture is also something Norman Forster should share to the world In my opinion, I love your video by the way, the classic with interview is surreal!

[@cutiex7357]

Damn... After watching this I feel SO INSPIRED... Thank you!!! The film maker and Norman Foster!

[@jordanbizzell5121]

hope to meet him and work under him soon. He is not your typical architect, he and his team strive to change the status quo, to really look at how we can further the world. His practice is founded on the principle of progress. Amazing man, Amazing achievements

[@Mylifestoriesmaybe]

How did it go brother? I'm starting Architecture college this year

[@augustoiglesias7468]

I love how at the beginning of this video he talks about discovering architecture, you can see his eyes bright up when he talks about it. It’s awesome to see how such a successful architect can still be so down to earth, passionate, and excited about his career. Personally having worked in the industry for over a year as an designer I know not everyone can say they enjoy their job this much. Some projects unfortunately can be a bit soul crushing.

[@danderegil]

I'm no architect, but I do appreciate the art of architecture. The intro was a delight to watch, as I'm also a lefty, and my favorite mechanical pencil also a Pentel 0.9mm ! The latter observation made me pause the video and comment before I continue watching it (which I'm sure I will greatly enjoy). I discovered Norman Foster's work at an art exhibit at a contemporary art musuem in my hometown. Thanks for sharing this documentary! : )

[@yotrakzproductions7324]

Thank for sharing. Interesting. To me, architecture is the commingling of art (visual and fine), science, (math, physics, psychology, biology, ecology), history and technology. Always fascinating to be able to hear an architect's input on their works and contributions.

[@noaht-s8126]

Looking into becoming an architect, love Norman fosters designs, he inspires me more.

Recently his work in Luxembourg, The Royal Hamilius has been completed, beautiful project. I am glad to be part of the construction architects' team in 2018

I was there. you end up being one of the thousand. He will definitely not talk to you and you will learn nothing with long working hours and low pay.

[@Mylifestoriesmaybe]

@@dannysze8183 low pay is relative, in my country 1k a month is an excellent salary. Also, if you were actually working for foster + partners I think you should look at everyone that got there, not only Norman

[@takchengsze4719]

@@Mylifestoriesmaybe then you should try your best to emigrate to the 1st world and do not be an idiot thinking that all star architects are hero. Quitting foster is the best decision I have made.

[@subtitledEN]

@@Mylifestoriesmaybe no, low pay is not relative. You don't compare your expenses in your poor country to a salary someone earns in the UK for example. You compare your expenses to your income, IN THE SAME CITY. Duh!! (you also take into account the amount of hours you work, etc)

hmmm i dont think so to be honest. the renaissance of representative capitalism-embracing architecture/ entrepreneurial architecture was spearheaded by different figures...

[@georgeredden6196]

Among his many "works" of architecture, I really admire the "Carre d'art" museum in Nimes. It really teaches you how fragile the harmony and grandeur of a place can be and how easily it can be destroyed by an overrated architect with the backing of the corrupt institutions we have nowadays. Truly educational.
