An artistic and personal journey into the architecture of Mario Botta to understand why a globalized society feels the urge to build sacred spaces and why Botta feels, more than ever, the need to tackle the issue. Passionate, tireless, at 75 Botta is one of the few architects, who has built places of prayer for the three main monotheistic religions. After building many churches, chapels and a synagogue, he is now building a Mosque in China. A new challenge in a moment of deep reflection about the contradictions of our society.

Un viaggio “oltre lo spazio”, dentro il mondo di Mario Botta, che permette di scoprire un architetto instancabile e inedito, alla ricerca di nuove sfide. Dopo aver costruito chiese, cappelle e una sinagoga, Botta sta progettando una moschea in Cina. Il documentario ripercorre la carriera dell’acclamato Artista svizzero attraverso i suoi spazi sacri, un tema a lui caro, perchè in esso ha trovato l’essenza dell’architettura ed ispirazione per profonde riflessioni personali e professionali.
