VILLA SAVOYE
His most famous design was the Villa Savoye (1929-1931), a private house just
outside of Paris. Its a clean, white edifice with horizontal windows. Its raised from
the ground on piloti . The exterior is coated in white stucco. Le Corbusier once said
that by law, all buildings should be painted white.
Le Corbusier developed what he called the Five Points of Architecture. The five
points were:
Piloti
The roof garden
The free plan
Long windows
The free faade
The Villa Savoye embodies these five points. First of all, you have the pilotti, which
raise the building above the ground and give a sense of weightlessness. The piloti
are made of reinforced concrete. That allowed Le Corbusier to develop what he
called the free faade. Because the walls are non-loadbearing, he was able to
include these continuous ribbon windows, which were a key motif of Modernism.
Finally, he created a roof terrace. A wall of sliding glass opens onto the courtyard.
This house has a ramp instead of stairs, which maintains the sense of a freeflowing space.
He based the garage and drive way on the turning radius. This demonstrates the
influence of the machine aesthetic.
