CONSTRUCTION. ●USED REINFORCED CONCRETE AND PLASTERED MASONRY TO CREATE VILLA SAVOYE. ● THE USE OF REINFORCED CONCRETE WAS A VERY MODERN METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION IN THE 1920S AND 30S. ●THIS MEANT THAT CORBUSIER NEEDED TO USE MATERIALS WITH THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY TO BE ABLE TO CREATE THIS, AND REINFORCED CONCRETE ALLOWED HIM TO DO SO. ●IT CAN BE USED TO CREATE CURVES WITH EASE AND FLEXIBILITY IN CREATING COMPLEX SHAPES, ALLOWING TO CREATE THE SOLARIUM AND U-SHAPED GROUND FLOOR. ●IT ALSO MEANT THAT CREATING THE VILLA .

WAS A LOT LESS LABOUR INTENSIVE THAN IT WOULD BE TO USE BRICKWORK ETC.

THE FACADE

THE ROOF THE ROOF OF THE VILLA IS A RECREATIONAL ARE SHELTER AND GARDEN IN ONE. A WALL PROVIDES PRIVACY AND SHADOW. AND ITS OPEN LAYOUT LETS LIGHT TO THE SECOND FLOOR – ADDING TO OPEN DESIGN OF THE ENTIRE BUILDING.

THE WINDOWS

WHAT APPLIES TO THE FLOORPLAN ALSO APPLIES TO THE FACADE ITSELF – WITH NO OUTER WALLS FOR SUPPORT. THE WALLS THAT ARE CAN BE DESIGNED FREELY. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE FACADE OF THE VILLA SAVOYE IS BOTH CHARACTERISTIC AND FUNCTIONAL.

THE FLOOR PLAN

THE HORIZONTAL WINDOWS MAKES IT EASY FOR AIR AND LIGHT TO ENTER THE INTERIOR , MAKING THE SECOND BEING SUPPORTED BY PILOTIS FLOOR FEEL VERY OPEN. IT ALONE, IT IS POSSIBLE TO ALSO GRANTS A GREAT HAVE A VERY OPEN FLOOR VIEW OF THE SURROUNDING PLAN – WALLS CAN BE YARD, FROM WHEREVER PLACED WITH NO NEED TO ONE STANDS INSIDE THE CONSIDER SUPPORT.

SUMMARY. VILLA SAVOYE'S BASIC DESIGN GIVES THE BUILDING A MODERN LOOK. THE PRIME MATERIALS ARE; REINFORCED CONCRETE AND RIBBON WINDOW GLASS. THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING IS A WHITE STUCCO WITH A GREEN BASE, IT HAS LITTLE ORNAMENTATION TO ALLOW THE ONLOOKER TO VIEW THE WHOLE BUILDING, INSTEAD OF CERTAIN FEATURES. THE BUILDING AS A WHOLE LACKS ORNAMENTATION, BUT THE ROOF IS A KEY FEATURE THAT STANDS OUT. THE ROOF IS AN ABSTRACT DESIGN TO FUNCTION AS A GARDEN.
