A RCHITECTS IN FILM

摘要

Today sees the general release of Deyan Sudjic's How Much Does Your Building Weigh, Mr Foster?, a documentary on the life and work of Norman Foster, probably the most successful architect alive today. The film takes its title from an ecological question posed to Foster by Buckminster Fuller, the eccentric architectural visionary who was once his friend and mentor. It explores Foster's tremendous body of work and discusses the ideologies that drove the designs, visiting iconic projects such as the Gherkin and the Reichstag along the way.
