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

Italian architect Mario Botta's serene geometric designs combine the architectonic precision of Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn, the organicism of Frank Lloyd Wright and Romanesque architecture's sense of perpetuity and respect for the spirit of place. Proceeding from a 1961 vernacular stone parish house in Ticino, Switzerland, to an elaborate, unrealized 1985 design for housing on an island in Venice, this systematic survey of Botta's works--villas, schools, churches, banks, cultural centers, etc.--includes more than 600 photos and drawings, as well as a biographical profile. Pizzi, a Milanese professor and architect, charts the development of an empirical thinker with a vein of idealism, who has restored the arch and the column to a noble position in the repertoire of modern architecture.
