Synopsis

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 3 provides comprehensive documentation of Botta's works from 1990 - 1997, complete with extensive catalogues of his projects, exhibitions and publications. The highlights of this period include the Cathedral of Evry, near Paris, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, both of which drew worldwide acclaim. However this volume also presents Botta's activity as a furniture designer, and exhibition and stage designer.

About this title

Review

"The latest addition to the Swiss publisher's continuing documentation of Botta's work, this third volume covers the last seven years. Highlights include the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the appropriately idiosyncratic Jean Tinguely Museum in Basel, and the cathedral at Evry. But most ingratiating are the 'Charlotte' chair, a crisp cylinder of rattan, and Botta's first works for the stage. These include thoroughly abstract sets for Medea, for Ippolito, and for the Nutcracker (refreshingly, not a Christmas tree in sight)." -- Interior Design
