The movie is "A moment to remember", a tear-jerking story between a carpenter, who wants to be an architect, and the daughter of a rich man, The author is John H. Lee, a korean director who has been living in USA since he was 12. Graduated from New York University, Lee has directed over 25 international music videos.
But the question is: Which book does the carpenter read before getting his craved degree in architecture? A book on Sullivan, Mies, Le Courbu, Ando, Wright?
No one of them!
The answer is: a monograph on Mario Botta (...and the guy easily got the license...)!
There are a couple of reasons for this choice but i think it is funny anyway

Interesting. This is the first I hear of Botta's academy. . .
the accademia is in mendrisio, CH, co founded by galfetti who i think is a much better architect and teacher.
current faculty also includes:
Manuel Aires Mateus
Valentin Bearth
Valerio Olgiati
