Foster + Partners exhibition is coming to Sydney’s Parkline Place

Situated in Parkline Place – the latest project by Foster + Partners in Australia, developed by Investa on behalf of owners Oxford Properties Group and Mitsubishi Estate Asia – the exhibition focuses on its contribution to the urban environment and infrastructure and approaches the city as integral to a collective, sustainable future. Civic Vision | Foster + Partners will be open at Parkline Place from 25th October until 21st December, 2025.

“We are delighted to be putting on this first-of-its-kind exhibition in Sydney – a city we have been working in for more than 25 years,” says Gerard Evenden, Head of Studio, Foster + Partners. “This is a fantastic opportunity to reflect on our holistic approach to civic architecture, which has underpinned our work since the 1960s, and continues to evolve to meet the challenges of today.”  

Muir Livingstone, Partner, Foster + Partners, adds: “It is a great privilege to showcase the practice’s work in Parkline Place – a project that we have been working on for the past six years – and the new home for our Sydney studio. Our projects in the city exemplify the civic and sustainable approach that the exhibition centres on – from our first Sydney project, Deutsche Bank Place, which features a four-storey public plaza at its base, to our work for Sydney Metro that is transforming the way thousands of people travel across the city.”

Displaying early projects alongside recent developments, the exhibition highlights the durability of the practice’s structures and ideas, as well as their capacity for evolution. By bridging past achievements with contemporary aspirations, Civic Vision aims to inspire new perspectives on the city of today and tomorrow. 

The exhibition is organised around three themes: ‘Community + Culture,’ ‘Living + Working,’ and ‘Planning + Mobility.’ It features a variety of the practice’s Australian projects, including Deutsche Bank Place and Salesforce Tower at Sydney Place, as well as groundbreaking designs for Hong Kong including the iconic Hongkong and Shanghai Bank HQ and the Hong Kong International Airport, consistently voted amongst the best in the world, London’s famous ‘Gherkin’ and Berlin’s Reichstag German Parliament. The soon to open Zayed National Museum in Abu Dhabi will also be on display.

Civic Vision looks across time and scale to explore a continued interest in the value of density, the necessity of light and green space, and the interconnectedness of the modern world.
