Mario Botta's Sketches
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
"In a contemporary city," says Mario Botta, "the museum is elevated to the status of a new cathedral, a place for the memory of and relationship with other epochs, as filtered through the works of art exhibited. But it is also an urban focus."
"Great architecture of the past was always clear. SFMOMA is still a simple building to understand," Botta says. "Today museums are too large inside."

thanks for marrio
any other sketchs
Last week a friend was telling me it's been difficult setting up a new exhibit at SFMOMA because the gallery spaces are all quite small without much flexibility compared to other modern art museums he's worked at.
So much importance is placed on the central atrium with it's main staircase that I feel the actual exhibition space is disconnected from it as you leave the common area and enter a boxy white hall that could have come from any museum. They seem almost an afterthought to this cathedral.
very nice,keep on doing
