Mario Botta : Architectural Poetics

Rating:
Summary: The book IS a master-piece in itself!
Review: Architects transcribe their thoughts and emotions through their designs, forms, and spaces. Botta is without a doubt
a master in his own right.
But what compelled me to write this review is the "text", the writing. The author of the book is a practicing architect who has worked along side Botta. She seems to really understand what lies at the heart of architecture in General and Botta's design philosophy in particular.
If you are a student of architecture READ this book.
If you love to contemplate beautiful creations READ this book. And finally if you are a fan of good writing I urge you to read this book!
