AA Archives New Accession: Michael Foster drawings (1963-66)
Michael Foster has recently donated to the AA Archives a portfolio of work dating from his 4th and 5th Years at the AA, 1963/64 and 1965/66. The projects include his designs for an office block on Tottenham Court Road (1963/34) and the redevelopment of the area around St Pauls (1963/64). Following a year out working for SOM in Chicago, Michael returned to the AA for his 5th Year completing schemes for the redevelopment of Regents Canal and for a Cross Channel Terminal at Dover.
Michael Foster graduated in 1966, setting up in private practice in 1968 before becoming a partner at the Tooley and Foster Partnership, a position he held until 2006. He has been a long-time supporter of the AA, teaching here and acting as Council Member and President (1990-91).
