Foster + Partners
Foster + Partners is a global studio for architecture, urbanism and design, rooted in sustainability, which was founded in 1967 by Norman Foster. Since then, he and the team around him have established an international practice with a worldwide reputation for thoughtful and pioneering design, working as a single studio that is both ethnically and culturally diverse.
The studio integrates the skills of architecture with engineering, both structural and environmental, urbanism, interior and industrial design, research and technology, model and film making, aeronautics and many more – our collegiate working environment is similar to a compact university. These diverse skills make us capable of tackling a wide range of projects, particularly those of considerable complexity and scale. Design is at the core of everything that we do. We design buildings, spaces and cities; we listen, we question, and we innovate.

Applied R+D
The Applied R+D team is an integrated multi-disciplinary team, with backgrounds in architecture, engineering, software development, data science, machine learning and applied mathematics.
Our expertise covers design and construction, complex geometries, performance driven design, collaborative pipelines, immersive environments, digital twins, and artificial intelligence. We conduct research and develop products that leverage cutting-edge technologies from within and outside our industry.
Meet Our Team
Cyclops has been shaped by contributions from both past and present members of Applied R+D. Below, we introduce our current development team.
