| I think you need to explain more clearly what you want. Most buildings are mineral or metal! |

"mineral , metallic structures , foundations ,either images or text! thanks a lot."
Most buildings materials are based in minerals processed to be used as construction materials: sand for glass, gravel for concrete, lime for cement , iron ore for rebar and steel beams, copper ore for piping and wiring, petro chemical for plastics, etc.
The secont kind of construction materials are based on vegetable products such as wood for framing, straw for thached roofs, celulose for insulation, cotton for fabrics, etc.
Animal products for glue, paint, upholtery, etc. |

Do you mean metal skins, like the Gehry's Guggenheim Museum, or SANAA's Museum of Contemporary Art? Or metal frames (which are extremely common)? I am still not sure what you are asking.
Foundations are unlikely to be metal, apart maybe from the requirement for reinforcment rods! |

Symphony:
Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall
Frank Gehry (Introduction)
Deborah Borda (Preface)
Publisher: iPublish.com;
From the stainless steel curves of its striking exterior to the state-of-the-art acoustics of the hardwood-paneled main auditorium, Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall, new home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, will be one of the most acoustically sophisticated concert halls in the world. The hall is destined to be a new architectural landmark, generating as much excitement as Gehry's Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, which its design predates.
This book, which includes an introduction by Gehry, traces the history of the hall from its inception through the architect selection process, construction, and completion of the building, which is recorded in acclaimed architectural photographer Grant Mudford's stunning images. Esa-Pekka Salonen, music director for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, recounts his first impressions of Gehry and the models for the new building in an essay that also defines what makes a great orchestra and a great concert hall.
Author Bio: Deborah Borda is the managing director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Richard Koshalek is the president of Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, CA. One of his most recent books is At the End of the Century: One Hundred Years of Architecture. Dana Hutt is the director of architectural documentation and special projects at Art Center College of Design. Esa-Pekka Salonen is a composer and the music director for the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Carol McMichael Reese is an associate professor of architecture at Tulane University, New Orleans. Michael Webb's essays on architecture have appeared in books and magazines in the United States and in Europe. Grant Mudford is an internationally acclaimed architecture photographer.
