Insights is the internally distributed journal of Foster + Partners, created as a platform for sharing knowledge, strengthening connections across teams, and encouraging dialogue throughout the practice and with its clients and collaborators.

The first edition highlights the fundamentally human nature of architecture. Across 12 sections, it explores on-site construction experiences, collaborations between architects and artists, and the lasting importance of craft and bespoke manufacture. Spanning conceptual ideas to completed projects, each article reveals how design transforms abstract thinking into built reality. Together, they reaffirm the architect’s enduring role in shaping inclusive, adaptable, and responsible environments, while inviting reflection and exchange.

This focus on material thinking extends to the journal’s physical production. Combining matt and gloss stocks with a sewn eight-page cover, the publication emphasises tactility and craft. Advanced print techniques, including stochastic screening and metallic and neon inks, enhance the richness and precision of its architectural imagery.
