What is Norman Foster and the British Museum (Architecture) about?

Published to coincide with a major retrospective of Foster's work held at the British Museum, this book brings together essays, design drawings and photographs to provide an unprecedented account of the development and fruition of this scheme. An introductory essay by Deyan Sudjic presents the Great Court as the culmination of more than a century of change within the Museum - a reconciliation of past and future which has transformed the heart of this public institution. Spencer de Grey, who oversaw the project's execution, documents the design and construction of the separate elements within the Great Court and the vast glazed canopy that surmounts them. With a preface by Norman Foster and illustrated with photographs of the Great Court in its spectacular finished state, this book provides an insight into the evolution of one of London's most remarkable architectural spaces.
