Other conquests

I was interested to read in your Antithesis column (THES, September 13) the piece headlined "Norman's conquest".

Contrary to your comment, Foster and Partners have been employed by no fewer than seven universities including Cranfield, Oxford, Cambridge, Robert Gordon Aberdeen, London School of Economics, University of East Anglia, University of Strathclyde and in addition, education facilities in Frejus, France.

All of these projects we won by interview and our fees were as laid down by the Royal Institute of British Architects.
