►Villa Savoye is considered a masterpiece of modern architecture, using the Parthenon of Greece’s Acropolis as a precedent to create a “temple” to the modernist movement. Le Corbusier embraces modernism’s optimism towards standardization, industrialization, and streamlining, to work towards a perfect standard for housing architecture, just as the Parthenon did for its historical building type. Although words such as “standardization” are commonly associated with the austerity of mere building “function,” the priority for Le Corbusier’s buildings, as evidenced by his manifesto, was the art of architecture, and the beauty of architectural experience.

Ultimately, the Villa Savoye is the best manifestation of Le Corbusier’s 5 points of architecture—pilotis, free plan, free façade, roof garden, ribbon window—and the best encapsulation of the ideas of his 1923 manifesto to modernism, “Towards An Architecture,” also known as “Towards A New Architecture.” Using photographs, diagrams, sketches, and plan drawings, this explanatory walkthrough conducts formal analysis of the project’s entry experience, circulation ramp, vestibule, garden terrace, and solarium.
