Land+Living: Villa Savoye

Architecture — September 21, 2004 Posted by James

Photo tour of residence in Poissy, France designed by Le Corbusier and Pierre Janneret

Saphenia features a very nice photo tour of this 1931 Corbu masterwork... the most comprehensive collection of photos I have seen of the Villa Savoye anywhere.

The Villa is a physical manifesto of Le Corbusier's "five points of the new architecture" with its grid of supporting pilotis, horizontal window bands, free facade, open interior plan and roof terraces. The articulated circulation system also exemplifies Corbu's idea of the "architectural promenade."
