Cersaie 2007 meets Mario Botta
The Swiss-born architect, whose ceramic installation “Guscio” was on display at the 2007 FuoriSalone of the Milan Triennial, will take part in the event entitled “Architecture and Memory”, promoted by Confindustria Ceramica and organised by Edi.Cer, as part of the architecture day held every year at Cersaie and which last year saw the participation of Massimiliano Fuksas and Pritzker prize-winner Thom Mayne.
