Project 1_Villa Savoye

--"One of Le Corbusier's most important works, the Villa Savoye is dramatic in its apparent simplicity."

Model

Enclosure

The centroidal form, enclosed by trees, is placed on the meadow site which is to the north-west of Paris.

Structure

Geometry

Simple geometries are applied for the volume of this villa which is centroidal and static. Additionally, golden section is applied into this building.

Circulation

The entry block shape is determined by the turning capability of a vehicle with the fundamental dynamic of a curvilinear volume tensioned against a rectangle.

The transparent membrane gibes contact with the route and meadow beyond.

There are two ways for vertical access which are the stair and the ramp which is placed centrally on dominant axis.

He explained the 'coincidence' that using both components for the vertical circulations as "The stair separates the space, the ramp connects the space".

Program

The diagonal divides the accommodation into spatial and cellar zones which could also be understood as public and private zones.
As showed in the axonometric drawing, there is continuous spatial contact between the living room, terrace and covered terrace.
