Switzerlarch: Bank and Bastion

Palazzo Botta

This book represents an architectural manual and a survey of Mario Botta’s career. A pleasant read that will enlighten both professionals and those less versed in architecture appreciation. When the Palazzo Botta opened in Lugano in November 1988, it was greeted with enthusiasm by the Swiss and international media alike. To this day, it still counts as a rare icon of contemporary bank architecture.

The book is published by BSI (Banca della Svizzera Italiana), as part of the BSI Art Collection series.
