| SKETCH BY MARIO BOTTA |
 |
| FACADE DETAIL |
A recent trip to San Francisco brought the immense pleasure of seeing the SFMOMA, designed by Swiss Architect Mario Botta, whose work we love for its purity, simplicity, restraint and logic. A common material, brick, is used in varying directions and orientations to create pattern and texture. The additional use, in relatively small proportion, of white and black granite creates counterpoint.
Botta's work is genuinely beautiful in an awe-inspiring sense; combining grace, humility and real physical presence.
