London Architecture Series: Mario Botta. The Space Beyond

FREE

As part of the LSA Film Fest, we’re pleased to partner on a three-film screening series exploring the intersections of architecture, design, culture, and community.

Mario Botta. The Space Beyond (2018), directed by Loretta Dalpozzo and Michele Volonté, offers a rare and intimate look at the life, philosophy, and work of internationally acclaimed Swiss architect Mario Botta. Renowned for his striking cultural, civic, and sacred buildings, Botta is one of the few architects to have designed places of worship for all three major monotheistic faiths.

Spanning Switzerland, Italy, and beyond, the film follows Botta through conversations with artists, clients, collaborators, and family members, revealing the ideas, values, and relationships that have shaped his extraordinary career. More than a portrait of a celebrated architect, Mario Botta: The Space Beyond is a reflection on creativity, spirituality, and the enduring power of architecture to shape human experience.
