London: Foster + Partners / Prestel Verlag, 2014. Hardcover. VG. Silver stamped cloth, 268 pp., many BW illus. and line drawings. "Offers a detailed critique of Foster + Partners' work in the context of historic structures or sensitive historical locations. This strand of the practice's work is rooted in a belief that there need be no conflict in sharing a passion for structures from the past with a pleasure and anticipation for the architecture of the future: old and new can coexist with integrity and without apology. ... Explores the practice's developing approach to 'building with history,' culminating with the remodelling of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Complementing that study is a pictorial record of projects which illustrate different strands of Foster + Partners' work in this field." (pub. ad) Includes an introduction by Norman Foster.
