Norman Foster's Millau Viaduct over the Gorges du Tarn in France.

The 2010 documentary film How Much Does Your Building Weigh, Mr. Foster? chronicles the life and career of England’s Norman Foster, who rose from a humble working class background to become one of the world’s premiere modern architects.

Directed by Norberto López Amada & Carlos Carcas, the movie was filmed in some ten countries, homing on some of Foster’s most iconic works, including London’s Swiss Re Tower, New York’s Hearst Building, Berlin’s Reichstag, Beijing Airport’s International Terminal and the Millau Viaduct over the Gorges du Tarn in France.

Examining the work of an architect whose quest is to improve the quality of life through design, and his work, the film features insights from Foster himself, as well as artists and notables as Anthony Caro, Buckminster Fuller, Paul Goldberger, Anish Kapoor, Richard Long, Richard Rogers, Richard Serra and others.

How Much Does Your Building Weight, Mr. Foster? had a limited run in U.S. theaters in January, 2012, where it received generally positive reviews following its theatrical rollout in Europe and at various festivals over the previous two years.

A Q&A with the directors Norberto López Amada & Carlos Carcas is included as a bonus feature.
