Casa Rotonda (House Medici) Stabio, Ticino CH
In the afterword to his book, Mario Botta writes: "Writing about architecture, reviewing and preparing the images for printing, requires a reversed approach compared to what I'm used to. Speaking about architecture or a building truly means breaking down the individual design phases from which the work was constructed. Conversely, creating architecture means building a design in phases. I'm quite perplexed when I see the images of the construction of the round house compiled here; this probably stems precisely from that reversal."
