Foster and Partners (also Foster + Partners) is a British international architecture firm with its headquarters in London, England. It was founded in 1967 by British architect and designer Norman Foster. The firm has been involved in the design of major projects around the world, including the Gherkin in London, the Hearst Tower in New York City,[2] the 1990s renovation of the Reichstag in Berlin,[3] the Millau Viaduct in France,[4] and Hong Kong International Airport.[5]
In addition to architectural design, the firm's practice encompasses engineering[6] and industrial design.[7] As of 2021, the firm had approximately 1,500 employees in New York City, Hong Kong, and Madrid.[6] The firm has won the Pritzker Architecture Prize[8] and the Stirling Prize.[9]
History
[edit]The firm was established by Norman Foster in 1967,[8] shortly after leaving his first studio, Team 4.[10] The firm was originally called Foster Associates before the name was changed to Foster & Partners in 1999.[11]
In 2007, the private equity company 3i took a stake in the firm. The practice regained complete ownership in June 2014, when the 140 partners bought it back.[12]
In October 2021, a significant stake in the firm was bought for an undisclosed sum by a Canadian private investor, Hennick & Company, which became the single largest shareholder of the firm. Foster retains a controlling interest.[13]

Criticism
[edit]In June 2008, The Guardian criticized real estate development in a pristine seacoast area in Bulgaria, which was under EU environmental protection. The paper cited environmentalists' concerns over the impact of the planned 15,000-inhabitant resort facilities. The Bulgarian partner Georgi Stanishev, is the brother of Sergey Stanishev, who served as the Prime Minister of Bulgaria between 2005 and 2009 and is also the Leader of the Bulgarian Socialist Party.[50]
