Considered one of the century's most fundamental contributors to postmodern classicism, Swiss architect Mario Botta is respected particularly for his sensitivity to regional vernacular and to the building's relationship with the land. He is the designer of the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art – the only commissions he has accepted in the United States.
Botta's body of work ranges from private residences in the Swiss Alps to urban projects in Europe and Asia. The Bechtler Museum of Modern Art presents the exhibition Mario Botta: Architecture and Memory January 31 through July 25, 2014.
