Botta's work emphasizes the importance of site and materials. He uses simple geometric forms and symmetrical layouts with thick walls and skylights. His architecture transforms nature into culture through meaningful spaces that respect history and the environment.

MARIO BOTTA ( SWISS ARCHITECT )
Early Childhood Mario Botta was born on 1 April, 1943 in Mendrisio, Ticino, Switzerland. He attended the primary school in Genestrerio and Liceo Artistico (High School) in Milan. As a child, the mountains was the world for him, the peaks, the Alps, the entire universe. He climbed up the mountains early morning to see the sunrise. He back then felt that mountains let him see the world. Being born in Ticino in the Mediterranean and Central Europe, there happened intersection of many different cultural practices, this particular environment created a sense of an eclectic spirit in Bottas mind. https://youtu.be/_hFV29SorBw
ADOLESCENCE HOBBIES, EXPERIENCES, INFLUENCES From a very early age botta wanted to work with images. It was clear that he would become either an artist, photographer, or architect. There was an opportunity to work as an apprentice at an architects office in lugano when he was just 15. So, he started working even before he went to school to study architecture. Bottas work is deeply influenced by these three architects. Le Corbusier : Corbusier has transformed lifes problems in architecture social aspects, urban strategies, mass construction, and so on. He expressed them in new and transformative ways. Louis Kahn : Kahn was more concerned with the origins of life. His work was about transforming nature and culture. Carlo scarpa : Scarpa had a very acute sensibility for expressing materials. He was perhaps the most able master who could emphasize the richness and brilliance of materials. https://www.archdaily.com/964065/architecture-stands-out-because-it-has-something-to-say-to-its- context-in-conversation-with-mario-botta?ad_source=search&ad_medium=search_result_articles

PHILOSOPHY Importance of the site The city and the historical stratification Light Gravity Geometry, symmetry, order Natural materials The territory of memory, respect of the great past Ethical meaning of architecture http://www.botta.ch/en/PRINCIPI
IMPORTANCE OF THE SITE Every work of architecture entails the construction of a site. It is not an isolated object; on the contrary it is an entity that takes root in a distinctive place. For this reason the territory is an integral part of the project, and never an incidental element. From this point of view, it can be said that architecture is the discipline that, instead of building on a site, builds that site. CHAPEL OF MOUNT TAMARO, SWITZERLAND THE FIORE DI PIETRA RESTRAURANT, SWITZERLAND
THE CITY AND THE HISTORICAL STRATIFICATION The city (in particular the European one) is an extraordinary model of aggregation; it is the highest expression of social life. Its millenary stratification makes it a bulwark of quality compared with the anonymity brought about by the globalization. MART MUSEUM OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART OF TRENTO AND ROVERETO, ITALY
LIGHT Light generates space. It gives emphasis and rhythm, it marks the spaces and bestows balance to the structure: neither space nor architecture could be perceived without light. Light completes the architectural project, so it is necessary to determine from the very first planning stages the distinctive features that will make it the fundamental element for the understanding and the use of the constructed work. SAN GIOVANNI BATTISTA MOGNO SWITZERLAND
GEOMETRY, SYMMETRY, ORDER Preference for the simple and primary forms combined to achieve symmetrical order. Geometry allows to control the balance of the spaces thus making them recognizable and understandable. San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
NATURAL MATERIALS Natural materials are characterized by strength and durability. They also have a great ductility, i.e. the capacity to modify in time and space their aspect, their structure and, as a consequence, their appearance. CYMBALISTA SYNAGOGUE AND JEWISH HERITAGE CENTER, ISRAEL
THE TERRITORY OF MEMORY, RESPECT OF THE GREAT PAST To promote a different, more sustainable relationship with the environment, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of the territory of memory, whose value is proportional to the value we assign to the past. To give importance to memory compels us to update, hence to get possession of, the great ideas of the past. Inspired by traditional houses in Venice or Florence with thick walls, high ceiling, and small windows. EVRY CATHEDRAL, FRANCE
ETHICAL MEANING OF ARCHITECTURE Architecture should have an ethical rather than an aesthetical meaning. The aim of the architectural fact is that of offering good quality living values opposed to merely aesthetical images. The search for a better quality of life goes through the search for a better space for life. A action that transforms a condition of nature into a condition of culture. CHIESA DI SAN ROCCO, SAMBUCETO, ITALY
DESIGN ASPECTS Modernism Symbolism Regionalism Culture Light Vernacular material Diagonal axis Spaces of poetry Geometry Revive an old transformation Topography Social environment Source: slideshare
ARCHITECTURAL LANGUAGE Classical symmetrical layout Simple geometric shape Closed and thick walls Skylight They use geometry of plan into the section PLAN TO SECTION
QUOTES For me, architecture is not just creating a space to protect people but to make them dream as well. The architect works in the territory of memory There is great mystery in a church. For me, there is a great privilege to be confronted with the design of a church because it shelters the most powerful themes of humanity: birth, marriage, death. A museum is a spiritual place. People lower their voices when they get close to art. L'architecture transforme un 辿tat de nature, en 辿tat de culture. (Architecture transforms a state of nature into a state of culture) https://www.brainyquote.com/authors/mario-botta-quotes Mario Botta
