Villa Savoye

This is our second video we do in collaboration with graphic designer, Federico Gonzalez. In this video we wanted to explained in a simple and easy way the five point for a new architecture proposed by Le Corbusier in 1926. To explain each point we modeled his masterpiece, the Villa Savoye, and create different animations to show them. The five points of a new architecture: 1 • Lift the building over pilotis: The ground floor of the house, like the street, belongs to the automobile. Therefore housing is raised on pilotis to allow the automobile’s movement or the green continuity. 2 • Free designing of the ground plan: A building floor plan should be free from structural conditioning so partitions con be organized in any way. 3 • The free facade: The structure separates from facade relieving it of its structural function. 4 • The horizontal window: The facade can be cut along its entire length to allow room to be lit equally. 5 • The roof garden: A building should give back the space it takes up on the ground by replacing it with a garden in the sky.
