Five Points of a New Architecture

The Five Points of New Architecture, introduced by Charles-Édouard Jeanneret (Le Corbusier), are design principles for creating functional and healthy buildings. They include: 1) Pilotis—using columns to elevate the structure, allowing open ground space; 2) Roof Garden—replacing ground plots with functional green roofs; 3) Open Floor Plans—freeing interior walls from supporting roles for flexible layouts; 4) Long Horizontal Windows—allowing even distribution of natural light; and 5) Free Facade Design—independent wall design from structural constraints for creative expression. These principles aim to enhance practicality, aesthetics, and well-being in architectural design.
