sir Norman Foster controversial architecture

First of all, i'm amazed that nobody got temted to discuss this film.

Secondly, i think that the main hero of the piece is the architecture itself. And as for sir Foster's architecture, i think the film presents it inaccurately - I've seen many of his works, especially those in London, and have to say that in real life they are much more "real", down to earth and very physical - unlike the shiny cristal look the film conveys.

For my part, I am not a huge fan of Foster's architecture, since it focuses on the polished glass and steal image. Sure, buildings that are weightless is the dream of every architect ever since ancient times, but i think urban environment needs more warmth since people need more warmth.

Nevertheless, I admire sir Foster's persistency and self-making, I admire his sport will and his wining over illnesses and hard times. As for the film - I recommend it to everyone, who cares for art and architecture, but beware - there's more that what is visible to the eye.
