Mario Botta Architect S. Angeli Chapel Mount Tamaro

Posted in public buildings with tags , , , , , on July 28, 2011 by eliinbar

Recently I visited the S.Angeli Chapel designed by Mario Botta on Mount Tamaro,Switzerland.
The Chapel was designed and built between 1990 and 1996.

-

A lot was written about Mario Botta inspired by Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn,
Two influential architects who worked in the twentieth century

-

What do you think was the inspiration source for Mario Botta’s S.Angeli Chapel round openings?
In The following posts I’ll try to find out what are Mario Botta’s  sources of inspiration .

Le Corbusier Ronchamp Chapel ” Sacred Inspiration” 2

Posted in public buildings with tags , , , , , , , , on December 1, 2010 by eliinbar

Louis Kahn Architect

First Unitarian Church and School

Rochester  NY  1959-1969

-

Louis Kahn   Designed an built the First Unitarian Church and School  in Rochester NY from 1959  to 1969 

Kahn’s  earliest known sketches show that he was working with a centralized concept.

-

-

His Desire was to create a single unified structure appropriate to Unitarianism…. 

Another influence of past solutions to church planning was Rudolf Wittkower’s Architectural Principles in the age of Humanism which illustrated centrally planned Renaissance churches. 

Did Ronchamp chapel was another source of inspiration for Louis Kahn?

-

Note  the concrete heavy flouting roof  and the distribution of the indirect day light coming from hidden windows.

Here are three examples :

1.
