The Villa Savoye

The Villa Savoye, designed by architect Le Corbusier and completed in 1931, is a landmark example of modern architecture. Located near Paris, it features a sleek, functional design with open interior spaces and pilotis (support columns) that lift the building off the ground. Large windows bring in natural light, emphasizing a connection with the outdoors. Its design exemplifies Le Corbusier’s principles of form following function, and it integrates innovative ideas like a flat roof garden. The Villa Savoye challenges traditional building methods, embodying modernist ideals of simplicity, efficiency, and harmony with the environment.
