Author Description

An admirer of Le Corbusier, in whose studio he briefly worked, and one of the most internationally renowned Swiss architects, Mario Botta has been described as a modern baroque architect. Whether elaborate or unostentatious, his buildings exude dignity, generosity and Mediterranean charm, and exercise a fascinating visual attraction. The Complete Works of Mario Botta by Birkhäuser is the only edition authorised by the architect himself, and has established itself as the international standard reference work on the subject. Volume 2 provides comprehensive documentation of Botta's works from 1985 - 1990, complete with extensive catalogues of his projects, exhibitions and publications
