	From Here To Modernity Architects - Norman Foster
		Norman Foster had an interest in architecture from an early age, but being from a working class background there was no guarantee that he would be able to pursue such a career.
		In the 1990s, Foster built the highest building in Europe (the Commerzbank Building), the world's biggest airport (Chep Lap Kok in Hong Kong, which is visible from space) as well as the critically acclaimed Stansted Airport outside London), and rebuilt Berlin's Reichstag, legislature of Europe's biggest democracy.
		Foster's Modernism is not the bland modernism of the municipal council block, instead it is a grand, ambitious modernism, which seeks at every opportunity to harness technology to create ecologically sound, socially benign, and consistently spectacular architectural solutions to the problems of living, working, and travelling in a crowded world.
