Approach to the Villa Savoie:

The house demonstrates the 'Five Points' that Corb placed central to his work, briefly piloti, fenetre longeur, free plan, active roof space and free facade. Le Corbusier was very focused on proportion of mass and space and keen to meld lessons from Classical architecture with modern technology exploited in cars, ships and planes.
