This volume examines each project in depth, featuring numerous photographs, original sketches and computer generated drawings. From airports to underground transit stations, from museums to office towers, every building designed by Foster and Partners is a study in the synthesis of a structure's individual elements : its foundation and use, the quality of its materials, and its relation to the skyline or cityscape.

Les pieds bien ancrés dans la ville souterraine de Montréal, il abrite entre ses parois de verre des milliers de trésors autrefois éparpillés, entreposés, difficilement accessibles, dorénavant à portée de la main de tous les Québécois. La Grande Bibliothèque est venue combler un besoin criant : tous les jours, depuis son ouverture le 30 avril 2005, des milliers de gens font tourner ses portes. Ils y trouvent quatre millions de documents, du livre ancien à la nouveauté, des disques, des films, des journaux, des revues de partout dans le monde, des ressources pour les chercheurs comme pour le grand public. Certains en ressortent avec leurs trouvailles - chaque semaine, la Bibliothèque prête des dizaines de milliers de documents -, d'autres s'installent dans ses espaces accueillants pour lire, étudier, explorer les richesses des collections rassemblées ici. Conçu de A à Z pour faciliter la découverte de ces collections, l'édifice offre sur ses six niveaux des ambiances très différentes, de l'Espace Jeunes, royaume des petits, au dynamisme du dernier étage en passant par de nombreux endroits de calme, dont l'espace réservé à la Collection nationale, organisé autour d'une salle de lecture inspirée des bibliothèques traditionnelles. Mais cette Grande Bibliothèque s'avance résolument dans le XXIe siècle. Son enveloppe transparente est plus qu'un symbole : on y est à la fois dehors et dedans, dans la réflexion et dans l'action, et l'édifice est une ruche d'où partent des liens infinis avec le Québec en entier : grâce à une technologie de pointe, l'institution offre ses collections, ses services et son expertise à tous, peu importe où ils se trouvent.

The program, which concentrated on the Los Angeles area and oversaw the design of 36 prototype homes, sought to make available plans for modern residences that could be easily and cheaply constructed during the postwar building boom. Highly experimental, the program generated houses that were designed to redefine the modern home, and thus had a pronounced influence on architecture—American and international—both during the program’s existence and even to this day. With over 150 photos and plans and a map of where all houses are (or were) located.
