project by Mario Botta
THE APPEAL
OF A LOST WORLD.
The intervention conceived by architect Mario Botta consisted of transforming
a domestic setting into an exhibition space of interest to the community.
The museum houses a collection of animal and plant fossils coming from the
rich fields of Monte San Giorgio, a location included in the list of UNESCO
World Heritage Sites. Refined and of effect is the conference room furnished
with Riccardo Blumer’s laleggera chair, iconic piece of the Alias collection,
Compasso d’Oro 1998 and highest expression of research and technology.
