Le Corbruiser - Villa Savoye

Unbelievably Villa Savoye was built in 1929 and represents an international style of modernity and urban living. I admire Le Corbruiser's ingenius forsight of futuristic living so early in the 20th century. He is up with artists like Mondrian who designed with form and structure.



Built for luxury and the rich, the architectural considerations includs automobiles of the day and incorporating the garden with builing. Using the balcony above, the owners can drive the car under the house and be shielded from the rain.



I commend his attention to detail in this respect and pioneering vision of originality and bravery to break the mould of expectations. Using concrete he manage to construct open planning without the constraints of supporting walls.



However, I do not think that such an art work is suitable for living. Its function is beyond a home, it is a structure to be admired.
