Mario Botta (*1943, Switzerland) trained as a technical draftsman and was an assistant to Le Corbusier and later Louis Kahn. He has attempted to reconcile traditional architectural symbolism with the aesthetic rules of the Modern Movement.

Botta gained international acclaim for such buildings as the Capuchin convent in Lugano. In the 1980's, he designed the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco.
