Mario Botta
First attracted international recognition with single family houses built in Ticino in the 1970s and 80s. Since then he has continuously developed a distinctive personal style. Botta's villas, schools, office and administration buildings, museums and churches 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 1 provides comprehensive documentation of Botta's early works from 1960 - 1985, complete with extensive catalogues of his projects, exhibitions and publications
