Building With History Sale

Description
Foster + Partners work is rooted in a belief that there is no need for conflict between sharing a passion for structures from the past and a pleasure and anticipation for the architecture of the future: old and new can coexist with integrity and without apology. As Norman Foster has said, Each age produces its own vocabulary and makes it own mark – in buildings that have evolved over time the original layers of history can often be understood more readily when seen alongside the new. Architectural critic Paul Goldberger explores the practice s developing approach to building with history, culminating with the remodelling of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Complementing the study is a pictorial record of projects which illustrate different strands of Foster + Partners work in this field. The illustrations in the book are by the distinguished architectural photographers Richard Bryant and the late Mark Fiennes.
