Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on April 01, 1943)

Happy birthday, Mario Botta! You're the architect who turned bricks into brilliance and gave concrete a charisma boost. Whether it's wowing visitors at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, creating harmonic grandeur with your Europa-Park Dome, or celebrating cultural depth in the Cymbalista Synagogue—your signature style stands bold and timeless.

Thanks to you, even waiting for a bus became an elegant experience in Vimercate! Your unique designs undoubtedly shaped cities and inspired countless future architects. May your coming years be as solid as your walls, inventive as your spaces—and thankfully not dependent on public transportation schedules. Cheers!
