Norman Foster, the eminent British architect who has made something of a specialty out of inserting contemporary designs into historic buildings, has been selected for a major renovation of the New York Public Library’s landmark 1911 main building, on Fifth Avenue between 40th and 42nd Streets.

Foster will surely do a good job with this project... but considering the current economic situation, wouldn't it be a better move to hire an American firm? It's not like we have any shortage of talent, and a lot of that talent is struggling to find work right now.
would it really matter if much of the work will be outsourced to third world countries?
