Luke Fox studied Architecture at the University of Sydney and after graduating, he worked in New York with Kohn Pederson and Fox, where he became a member of the American Institute of Architects (New York Chapter).

He joined Foster + Partners in 1998 and initially worked on the HSBC Headquarters at Canary Wharf. He was made an associate during the construction of Tower Place in London, where he ran the site office until the project’s completion in 2002. The scheme comprises two six-storey office buildings, connected by one of the largest glass atria in Europe.

He moved to Beijing for the design and construction of the world’s largest and most advanced terminal building at Beijing Capital International Airport and, on returning to London, was involved in plans for the highest tower in Europe – Russia Tower. Rising to 600 metres, the project was intended to create a mixed-use vertical community of shops, apartments and offices. Based on a highly efficient geometry derived from a triangular plan, the building was conceived as the world’s tallest naturally-ventilated tower. Promoted to partner in 2006 and to senior partner in 2009, his work in a Russian context continued with further projects in the region, including Crystal Island, an extensive mixed-use development on the Moscow River, and the redevelopment of the Pushkin Museum, a masterplan which aims to establish a thriving cultural quarter focused on one of the world’s leading museums.

As leader of Group 3, he manages a team of more than 200 designers in London, Beijing and Hong Kong, working on a wide range of international projects. These include the design of four Haramain High-speed Rail stations in Saudi Arabia; Queen Alia International Airport in Jordan; new developments in Russia, Singapore and China; the Slussen masterplan in the heart of Stockholm, Sweden; headquarters for VietinBank in Hanoi, Vietnam; mixed-use residential schemes in Lebanon, Morocco and Kuala Lumpur; as well as Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, airline lounges for Cathay Pacific at Chek Lap Kok airport and Foster + Partners’ proposed scheme for the West Kowloon Cultural District in Hong Kong.
