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 Birkh�user 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
