Foster + Partners, an award-winning British architectural design and engineering firm, has won the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Stirling Prize multiple times for their ground-breaking visions. With over 1,500 architects, the practice is responsible for many of the most recognised landmarks on earth, as well as a range of diverse and forward-thinking design projects from Washington DC’s Apple Carnegie Library and Saudi Arabia’s Haramain High Speed Rail, to OLED TV screen and designer chairs.


What’s more, Foster + Partners are now reaching for the moon. They have been invited to be part of a consortium set up by the European Space Agency to use 3D printing and robots to construct lunar habitations. Over 90% of construction materials is expected to be taken from lunar soil, reducing the need to transport materials to the moon. Young Wei-yang Chiu, partner at Foster + Partners, will attend BODW 2019 to talk about some of the prominent projects from Foster + Partners.


Young will also share what it is like to work for one of the world’s foremost design practices. It is not unusual for the architects to invest a great deal of time in a project, only to have it turned down after the board’s debate. They must be ready to go through a lot of imperfect solutions before they can arrive at the best one. It sheds light on the rigorous process of design and its collaborative nature at the top level.


Meet Young and other top architects at BODW 2019.
