San Francisco Museum of Modern Art MOMA , 1989 1995 At the age of 15, Botta completed an apprenticeship as a draftsman with Tita Carloni and Luigi Camenisch in Lugano . At the age of 16 he planned his first house for a family friend; at the age of 18 he was allowed to design the Catholic vicarage in Genestrerio . He then attended the Liceo Artistico in Milan . From 1964 to 1969 he studied architecture at the IUAV Istituto Universitario d'Architettura di Venezia , where he graduated in 1969 with Carlo Scarpa and Giuseppe Mazzariol . During his studies he worked with Le Corbusier at the Venice Hospital until his death.In the same year he opened his own architecture office in Lugano. During his training he had contact with other well-known architects such as Carlo Scarpa, Louis I. Kahn and Luigi Snozzi . Their influence can be seen in many of his buildings. Botta is also considered the most important representative of the "Ticino School" that became known in the 1970s and an admirer of Romanesque architecture . Botta often works with solid building materials such as natural stone, brick or concrete. Botta's rationalist style consists of a strictly geometric, simple design language and components such as light and shadow. This combination makes the often massive structures appear light and elegant. Many of his works can be found in his homeland, Ticino. But Mario Botta works worldwide. In 1983 Mario Botta was appointed adjunct professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) and an honorary member of the Association of German Architects BDA . He was instrumental in founding the Faculty of Architecture (Accademia di Architettura) at the Università della Svizzera italiana in Mendrisio , where he taught with Aurelio Galfetti , Kenneth Frampton and Peter Zumthor since 1996. In 2011 he was appointed director of the Accademia di Architettura ; he held the post until 2012. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 23686
