Foster + Partners is a sustainable architecture, urbanism, engineering, and design studio founded by Norman Foster in 1967. As a global practice with offices worldwide, our team is culturally and ethnically diverse, and we place people at the heart of everything we do. Our Practice Structure, approach to Diversity & Inclusion, CSER Commitment and Sustainability Manifesto, Integrated Design, and Specialist teams are all detailed on this page for further information.

Practice Structure

The partners, who are all shareholders, are the core of the practice. They are central to our continuing evolution and take responsibility for all projects, which are shared amongst our six architectural studios. Maintaining the design ethos of the practice, the Design Board reviews every project at all its different stages. Day-to-day management of the practice is provided by the Management Board, which is drawn from the wider group of senior partners and partners. The Partnership Board then oversees the strategic direction of the entire practice.
