Top British architect Norman Foster arrived Wednesday in Bulgaria for the opening of an exhibition of his works.

Miniature models, drafts and videos of existing buildings, as well as projects that are still under construction are displayed at the National Gallery for Foreign Art in Sofia.

Bulgaria's Regional Development Minister Assen Gagauzov opened the event, at which PM Sergey Stanishev was also present.

Lord Foster is the architect of some of the most impressive contemporary architectural works, such as the Millennium Bridge in London, the dome of the restored Reichstag in Berlin, and the renewed Wembley stadium.

Foster's company have won more than 440 architecture awards since its establishment in 1967.

The architecture exhibition will be on until January 15.
