Kahn before starting his own firm in 1970 and achieving international fame. Botta's characteristic respect for topographical conditions and regional sensibilities, his deft craftmanship, and the importance of geometric order in his work are evidenced in thiry 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 Museum of Modern Art. This detailed study also includes the designs he created for furniture and the stage. Mario Botta: Architectural Poetics is a thorough survey of the architectural and design work that launched Botta into the pantheon of modern architecture." --10aBotta, Mariod1943-vCatalogs.2Local 0aArchitecture, Moderny20th century. 0aArchitecture, Swiss. 0aArquitectura ModernaySiglo XXzSuiza1 aSakellaridou, Irena.
