Norman Foster... From Architecture to Car design

I just saw a week ago an article by Laura Allsop on CNN about Norman Foster's futuristic car that is Fuel Efficient. From London's landmark "The Gherkin" to Buckminister Fuller's 1933. Alissa Walker wrote another article about his idea of bringing an object from the past: "Foster's blast-from-the-past does present a timely reminder of the future of fuel-efficient autos."
