Mario Botta

Mario Botta (b. 1943) is a Swiss architect and designer known for his bold use of geometric forms and expressive use of light. Influenced by masters like Le Corbusier, Louis Kahn, and Carlo Scarpa, Botta’s work explores the relationship between architecture, memory, and landscape. From private homes in Ticino to museums, churches, and public buildings worldwide, his designs reflect a deep commitment to form, place, and cultural continuity.
