Villa Savory, (Poissy); 1928 Jiahao Wang
Name: Villa Savory
Architect: Le Corbusier
Time: 1930
Villa Savoy is one of the classic pieces of modernist architecture and is located in Poissy, near the suburbs of Paris. It was designed by modern architect Le Corbusier in 1928 and built in 1930 using reinforced concrete structures. The surface of this white house looks bland. The simple Plato figure and the whitewashed facade are simple enough to have almost no degree of excess decoration. “The only thing that can be called a decorative part is a horizontally long window. This is In order to maximize the light into the ". After the Second World War, the Savoy Villa was listed as a French cultural relic protection unit. At the beginning of the design of the villa, the original intention of Corbusier was to use this simple and industrialized method to build a large number of low-cost civilian residences, but a young woman, who is Ms. Voy, with hundreds of millions liked this design, so it became different with the original concept. This amazing design has influenced the architectural direction for more than half a century.
The Savoy Villa is very different from the previous European houses in design. The outline is simple, like a white square box is erected by thin columns. The horizontal window is wide and flat, the exterior wall is bright and clean, without any decoration, but the light and shadow change is rich. Although the shape of the villa is simple, the internal space is complex, like an intricate hollow geometry, and it looks like a complicated machine. The building adopts a reinforced concrete frame structure. The plane and space layout are free. Spaces are interspersed with each other. The inside and outside are connected to each other. It has a light appearance, space is transparent, and the decoration is simple. It is strongly formed with classical mansions with heavy modeling, closed space and complicated decoration.
Le Corbusier also emphasized the use of walls or partitions to divide the space flexibly. He believes that tenants should be able to divide their own living space according to their own needs - the proposal of a free plane - the load bearing structure is completely separated from the partition structure and can greatly Realize the flexibility and adaptability of space division. The proposal of the free facade makes the building facade design free from the shackles of the neoclassical composition principle, and makes the building facade and internal functions more logical. It also makes T·Pormee’s words ‘acquired from different perspectives.’ ‘Different impressions’ were realized - such impressions were not deliberately and artificially made, but were external representations of the internal conditions of the villa. The horizontally long windows are designed to give the room plenty of light and outdoor views.
In the ‘Five Points of Architectural’ published in 1926, Corbusier proposed the ‘five points’ of new buildings: 1. The independent pillars of the ground floor; 2. The roof garden; 3. The free plane; 4. Freedom Facade; 5, horizontal long window. The Villa Savoy is exactly the embodiment of the ‘five points’ proposed by Le Corbusier. It can even be said to be the most appropriate paradigm. It has great influence on the establishment and promotion of modern architectural style.
