Celem tej pracy jest osadzenie współczesnej architektury w continuum cywilizacji, dlatego autor pozostaje przy renesansowym terminie: sztuka budowania - res aedificatoria. Stawia tezę o istnieniu współczesnego paradygmatu, który pozwala porozumiewać się we wspólnym języku twórcom, teoretykom i odbiorcom architektury.
A documentation of the Renault Centre (winner of four awards), describing how it was designed and engineered, using documentation from the Foster Associates' archives. The author argues that it is the first of a new breed of buildings in which computer-controlled technology is exploited to an unprecedented degree in the construction of a low-cost building. The building, designed by architect Sir Norman Foster is seen as a technical milestone in 20th century architecture and the augmentation of the text with a set of detailed technical drawings and fact-sheets enables the reader to see clearly how the building was fitted together.
