Description

Mario Botta is convinced that modern architecture must find its roots in the past, and that it must be at once in contrast with its natural setting and in fundamental harmony with the urban environment. Such references in his work are indirect, and they are often reflected in his choice of materials such as brick, granite, or marble. Through works such as Evry Cathedral or the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, he has shown his capacity to transform urban settings and to raise architecture to new levels. This newly updated book explores his most important works to date.
