    VILLA SAVOYE,

    POISSY.
    BY
    LE CORBUSIER
    THE FIVE POINT PHILOSOPHY OF
    LE CORBUSIER.
    • Pilotis – Replacement of supporting walls by a grid
    of reinforced concrete columns that bears the structural
    load is the basis of the new aesthetic.
    • The free designing of the ground plan—the absence of
    supporting walls—means the house is unrestrained in its
    internal use.
    • The free design of the façade—separating the exterior of
    the building from its structural function—sets the façade
    free from structural constraints.
    • The horizontal window, which cuts the façade along its
    entire length, lights rooms equally.
    • Roof gardens on a flat roof can serve a domestic purpose
    while providing essential protection to the concrete roof.
    Villa Savoye is a modernist villa in Poissy, in
    the outskirts of Paris, France. It was
    designed by Swiss architects Le
    Corbusier and his cousin, Pierre
    Jeanneret , and built between 1928 and
    1931 using reinforced concrete. It has
    proved to be one of the most easily
    recognizable and renowned examples of
    the International style. The house was
    built as a country retreat on behest of
    the Savoye family.
