Resumen:
Centre Durrenmatt Neuchatel. For 40 years, the Swiss writer, Friedrich Durrenmatt, committed his works to paper from his home which overlooked the beautiful Lake Neuchatel in Switzerland. After Durrenmatt's death in 1991, Mario Botta began designing a museum which would be a monument to the writer, housing his drawings, paintings and literary artifacts. Officially endorsed by the Centre, this publication documents the complete realization of the building, from its initial conception to the finished museum, using texts, drawings and plans from both Durrenmatt and Botta. These are accompanied by expressive photographs by Thomas Flechtner. |
