Project 1 - Parti and Poche Drawings
Le Corbusier: Villa Savoye, Poissy near Paris, 1929
MAIN IDEA
1. Promenade architecturale: experiencing spaces through movement
2. Demonstration of five pointss of the new architecture:
- pilotis (columns)
- roof-gardens
- the free plan
- the free facade
- the horizontal window

STRUCTURE
The screen walls on the roof had to transmit their loads unevenly through the slab to columns not directly placed beneath.
The structure cantilevers beyond the columns at front and back, while running with it along the sides. This pulls the pilotis within the building to appear as free-standing columns in the most important room.

Geometry
For geometry, villa Savoye is applied the grid sytem. It bases on the repetitive element: grid, 9 identical squares, to form a unique form finally.
The concepts of golden ration, symmetry and balance are applied.

Enclosure
The ground floor envelope was shaped by the flow of arriving car. Coming from behind, it drove underneath the edge of the house, dropped the owners at the front, and was parked in the garage at the far side on dynamic diagonal. The irruglar entrance hall shows its in-between-ness, caught between other rooms and open to the outside though its screen of glazing. It also makes a contrast to the symmetrical frame formed by the column grid, double drive and centrally placed ramp.

After climbling out of car, owner will enter the villa through taking the centrally placed ramp to the first floor where living and sleeping rooms encirle an open countyard.
The ramp rises from the main court in the open air to arrive at top floor. In a typically deft move, a glassless window frames the view at the top of the ramp, as a termination to the promenade architecturale.
The need for the staircase to show itself promoted its being given a round end as the design developed, and it became increasingly sculptural, making a nice contrast with the ramp.
