Mario Botta designed the Museum Tinguely in Basel Switzerland, completed in 1996.
This gallery of modern art has kinetic sculptures on permanent display, and up to twenty machine-sculptures in the main hall. The hefty brick exterior is pressed up against the busy street. The circular tower and rectangular form abstract the historical church architecture from nearby, a post-modernist approach typical of Botta. Large walls of glazing open up to Solitude Park along the Rhine river. This establishes a transition from city to natural park in the building. Post-modernist decorations of curved roof trusses along this back facade help transition from the park into the man-made city. Botta used the same approach with his Leeum Samsung Museum in Korea.
