"On view until December 21, 2025, at Parkline Place, the firm's latest completed project in Sydney, developed by Investa on behalf of Oxford Properties Group and Mitsubishi Estate Asia, the exhibition offers an in-depth overview of Foster + Partners' global portfolio since its founding in 1967 by Norman Foster. It explores the evolution of the practice's design approach and its exploration of civic architecture across different contexts and scales."
"The presentation traces the practice's evolution through six decades, showcasing early projects alongside recent developments to highlight the continuity of ideas and their adaptation to changing contexts. Organized around three central themes: Community + Culture, Living + Working, and Planning + Mobility, Civic Vision includes a selection of Foster + Partners' Australian works such as Deutsche Bank Place and Salesforce Tower at Sydney Place, alongside international landmarks including the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank Headquarters, Hong Kong International Airport."
"The exhibition positions these projects within broader discussions on urban development and public space, illustrating how design can engage with social and environmental contexts over time. Since the 1960s, Foster + Partners has combined technological advancement with considerations of sustainability and civic life, contributing to urban plans and buildings that address contemporary environmental and social challenges. Civic Vision also reflects on the role of architecture in shaping the modern city through ideas of density, openness, and connectivity."
