It’s a simply one the most beautiful architecture books. Mario Botta’s buildings are very simply geometric, stability and monumental. Pino Musi’s picture captured essence of the texture, angels and light of the buildings. Pino Musi won a prize for this book. Werner Jeker, one of my favorite designers, designed this book. He express Mario’s personality with give a very geometric shape in the pages. With all these combination, there is no doubt this one of the most beautiful books.

Hi ! I’m a french student in architecture and currently I study Mario Botta’s work. I would like to know what is the building listed on the front page because I never seen it before and I can not find a building that corresponds to it. Is it really a picture of a Botta’s building and if so which one?
Help me please !
