Book Overview
Mario Botta (1943 geboren) studierte in Venedig Architektur bei Carlo Scarpa und erffnete 1970 sein eigenes Bro in Lugano. Heute reicht seine Ttigkeit bis in die Vereinigten Staaten und den Fernen Osten. Weltberhmt geworden ist Mario Botta durch seine zahlreichen Villen im Tessin: khl-elegante Bauten, die, oft an exponierter Lage situiert, einen spannungsvollen Dialog mit der Landschaft aufnehmen. Es sind visuelle Gebilde von magischer Wirkung. Ebenso beachtet sind Bottas Kirchenbauten, ob es sich nun um kleine Kapellen in den Tessiner Bergen oder um die Kathedrale von Evry bei Paris handelt, sowie seine Museumsgebude (etwa das Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco, das Tinguely Museum in Basel). Klare geometrische Grundformen, das Spiel von natrlichem Licht und Raum, die visuellen und haptischen Qualitten von Klinker und Natursteinen kennzeichnen Bottas Werke. Das vorliegende Studiopaperback dokumentiert das Gesamtschaffen Mario Bottas, einschlielich seiner Design-Entwrfe.

an overview on Botta's works in architecture mainly
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The book gives an overview on Botta's works in the past, present and it lists some projects with their drawings and models that are proposed to be done in the future. The book is sufficient, in my opinion, to provide a basic understanding of Botta's philosophies and the way he handles architecture. almost every information given in the book is given in three different languages. Hence, the book might be useful to some of those who don't use English.There is a small gallery at the end of the book that illustrates some of the design work that Botta did outside architecture like furniture, vases, among others. the collection is informative. However, I wished I found a collection with larger photos and more details.So, in general, I rate the book as a good reference and overview on Botta's works, especially architectural ones.
