Building with History, Prestel

Building with History, Prestel

Paul Goldberger’s book ’Building with History’ examines the strategies employed by architects Foster + Partners for contemporary interventions in historic buildings. Goldberger’s critical assessment is underpinned by beautifully reproduced imagery in a dedicated plate section as well as plans, sections and elevations which give a deeper insight into the symbiotic coexistence of historic substance and forward thinking solutions.

The contents of the book is matched by the carefully considered design with a silver coating providing a suitably high-tech twist on the traditional cloth cover.
