The architects
When Steve Jobs said he had the best architects in the world working on Apple Campus 2, he wasn’t kidding. He was talking about Foster + Partners. It all started when Norman Foster, the founder and chairman, received a phone call from Jobs out of the blue. Speaking in the promotional video about Apple Campus 2 he recollects the call. “It’s Steve. Hi Norman, I need some help,” he remembers. “I was out there three weeks later.”
Foster + Partners is a world renowned firm of architects based in London with offices worldwide and has been involved in creating innovative workplaces and many other types of structures for over four decades. Its groundbreaking designs include the UAE Pavilion at the Shanghai Expo 2010, the Millennium Bridge in the UK, Kuwait International Airport and the Sage Gateshead.
