The Ticino River basin, spanning southern Switzerland and northern Italy, contains some of the most important architecture of the twentieth century. For the first time, this fascinating region has been documented in guide-book form, providing an indispensable reference to the works of Mario Botta, Aldo Rossi, Giorgio Grassi, Mario Campi, and other architects of the 'Tendenza'.
The guide includes photographs, plans and a description of each building, with maps, directions, telephone numbers and opening hours. The introduction describes the region, the architects, and the theories behind their work, and an appendix lists the projects by architect, location, date and building type.
Includes black and white illustrations.
