福斯特建筑事务所

约翰逊参观香港的机场时，获悉有英国人参与了该机场的建设：莫特麦克唐纳（MottMacDonald）和奥雅纳（Arup）的工程师，以及渴望成为泰晤士河口机场设计者的福斯特建筑事务所（Foster&Partners）的建筑师。

When Mr Johnson toured Hong Kong 's airport he heard about the UK firms that built it : Mott MacDonald and Arup engineers , and Foster + Partners architects , the would-be designers of a Thames Estuary airport .

经济低迷导致全球对大型建筑项目的需求明显滑坡，福斯特建筑事务所也受到了影响。

Foster + Partners has been hurt by the recession , which saw global demand for big building projects slide .

为了在原先的赫斯特大厦（hearsttower）上加盖46层的玻璃墙体的大楼，福斯特建筑设计事务所（foster+partners）应用上述原理开发出了三维菱形钢柱结构。

To support the 46-storey glazed extension above the existing Hearst magazine building in Manhattan , foster + partners used this principle to develop a three-dimensional diamond structure of steel columns .
