The Willis Building: Designing an Ipswich icon

The Lord Norman Foster designed building is 50 years old

In this continuation of our celebration of the Willis Building's 50th anniversary, we delve deeper. We hear Naomi’s interview with the legendary Lord Norman Foster. They discuss the inspiration behind the design, the innovative rooftop garden, and the indoor swimming pool that made the Willis Building a revolutionary structure when it opened on 2 June 1975.
