Description
Mario Botta: Architectural Poetics, presents the work of the Swiss born architect who worked as an assistant to such architecture giants as Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn before starting his own firm in 1970 and achieving international fame.
Botta's characteristic respect for topographical conditions and regional sensibilities, his deft craftmanship and the importance of geometric order in his work are evidenced in thrity-three projects that range from smaller residential buildings to such grandiose projects as the Church of San Giovanni Battista, the Jean Tinguely Museum and, most famously the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
This detailed study also includes his designs for furniture and for the stage.
This monograph contains over 220 colour illustrations and thoroughly surveys the architectural and design work that launched Botta into the panthenon of modern architecture.
