I'm in my 1st year of M.Arch at UT-Austin and my construction group has to do a project on Botta's Riva San Vitale. Unfortunately, we aren't able to find any construction documents. We've been in touch with his office and got a bibliography of where the building had been published but still no luck. Has anybody done a past project on this? Any help would be great; we're kind of at a crossroads.
There's a really good Italian book that I bought on Ebay that has all of the plans, elevations and sections. It's in my office at school. I'll look tomorrow. I think it was published in 1982.
I did a case study on this house back in 2nd year, I don't recall plans being too hard to find... i used them and photos to build a 3d model from which i cut sections and elevations.
