Foster + Partners, Sainsbury Centre Exhibition

Exploring The City' examined the issues that shape the contemporary city, and the way in which Foster + Partners has responded to them. Through ten themes it reveals the wealth and diversity of the practice's work, from urban planning to furniture and industrial design, and offers a dramatic and engaging insight into the creative processes of Foster's studio. The exhibition contains a stunning array of more than eighty detailed models and prototypes from the Foster archive – artworks in their own right. These are interspersed with interactive computer displays, video, film and slide projections, which enable visitors to explore themes and issues in greater depth. Thomas Manss & Company designed the display graphics and promotional materials for the exhibition.
