Mario Botta

Architectural Poetics

Irena Sakellaridou

Mario Botta: Architectural Poetics is a thorough survey of the work of the Swiss-born architect who worked as an assistant to such giants as Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn before achieving international fame.

Botta's characteristic respect for topographical conditions and regional sensibilities, his deft crafsmanship and the importance of geometrical order in his work are demonstrated in thirty-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 Muuseum of Modern Art.

This detailed study also includes his designs for furniture and the stage.
