518    Originally produced by First Run Features in 2011. 
520    Born in Manchester, England, on the wrong side of the 
       tracks, Norman Foster rose from a humble working class 
       background to become one of the premier modern architects 
       of our time. Beautifully filmed in over ten countries and 
       homing in on his most iconic works, including London's 
       Swiss Re Tower, New York's Hearst Building, Berlin's 
       Reichstag, Beijing Airport's International Terminal and 
       the breathtaking Millau Viaduct, over the Gorges du Tarn 
       in France, How Much Does Your Building Weigh, Mr. Foster? 
       is an unprecedented exploration of an architect whose 
       quest is to improve the quality of life through design, 
       and his work, which offers striking solutions to 
       humanity's increasing demands."Elegant and stylish. This 
       rich, revealing documentary about world-renowned, prolific
       British architect Norman Foster - as productive and 
       creative as he is inspirational - could attract legions of
       young people to the profession just as it enlightens older
       "civilians" to the beauty and function of architecture in 
       a new, more demanding century. The true poetic beauty of 
       the film comes across most strikingly by way of screen 
       time given to many of his hundreds of projects-huge and 
       small structures spread across the globe." -Doris 
       Toumarkine, Film Journal "This admiring documentary gives 
       the viewer quite a lot to marvel at. Accompanied by Joan 
       Valent's pulsing, soaring score, the camera swoops over 
       some of Mr. Foster's largest and best-known structures and
       floats through the bright and airy interiors of his 
       skyscrapers. Even before you hear Paul Goldberger describe
       Mr. Foster as 'the Mozart of Modernism,' you can 
       appreciate the grace and harmony of his compositions in 
       glass, steel and light." -A.O. Scott, The New York 
       Times"Dazzlingly shot, stirring. The filmmakers' cameras 
       capture the beauty and breadth of his output with eye-
       popping swoop and grandeur. The film is an architecture 
       lover's dream." - Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times.
