Yet another British article about "the fabulous life of Norman Foster." OK...he has had a great year (the Stirling Prize, the bridge, the Hong Kong airport broke ground, Gateshead, etc.) but this: Foster is a singularity, a quark of creativity. He has become a self-perfected Achilles, a god without the gimpy heel that a regular deity would have....too much?
UPDATE: Jonathan Glancey concurs that Foster is riding high and rising higher ("It has been a week of double triumph for Norman Foster"). The staple ingredients of the Norman Foster epic article are in this one too: a Greek mythology allusion, the singling-out of Rowan Moore for daring to criticize Foster, his working-class parents, his lovely family, the efficiency of his operation, and his pilot's license.
