These include the factory for Reliance Controls, the Newport School competition entry, buildings for Fred Olsen, IBM and Computer technology, offices for Willis Faber & Dumas, the Sainsbury Centre and the Renault Distribution Centre. Contributions from Peter Buchanan, Reyner Banham, Francis Duffy and Martin Pawley, amongst others, are included alongside essays by Foster himself and observations from his colleagues in the practise. These writings describe individual project histories in detail and contextualize Foster's work, discussing influences and inspiration, identifying themes and establishing connections between the early projects and those of successive decades.
