Exhibit number two:
An idea more dazzling than an Olympic vision. Its architect was born, worked and studied in the Disruption City.
Commenting broadly, the wave of architectural new thinking that we are seeing is attributable in part to computer technology or, more accurately, the symbiosis of human imagination and computer technology. As the Foster profile says, "Today, Foster and Partners works with its engineering collaborators to integrate complex computer systems with the most basic physical laws..."

A mate of mine used to own the house which apparently Norman Foster grew up in. It was an end of a terrace of three on an odd shaped plot of land, consequently there didn't appear to be a single right angle (in the horizontal plane). You have to wonder whether growing up in a house with odd angled rooms had an impact on the young Foster's imagination. Was the "gerkin" actually born in Levenshulme?
