Mario Botta : light and gravity : Architecture, 1993-2003
NA1353.B67.A4 2004
Mario Botta’s buildings are characterized by simple, geometric shapes that juxtapose lightness and weight. This richly illustrated monograph examines Botta’s most recent examples of this theme, as seen in the Kyobo Tower in Seoul, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Jean Tinguely Museum in Basel, and the Cymbalista Synagogue in Tel Aviv. Hundreds of photographs, sketches, and plans illustrate the architect’s desire to create structures that adhere to and complement their locations, and show how his choice of materials emphasizes craftsmanship and geometric order.
