A parallel is easily made between Piet Mondrian’s and Villa Savoye, designed by Le Corbusier. It is a concept structure, meant to showcase his personal iteration of “modern architecture.” According to the textbook, Le Carbosier placed great importance on basing his designs on the “human scale.” That is – on the satisfaction of what he saw as the basic human needs: “…sun, space and vegetation, combined with controlled temperature, good ventilation and insulation against harmful and undesired noise.” (p.886) To this end, he designed Villa Savoye with many windows for solar illumination of the interior and for a good view of the landscape. There is a rooftop garden so that the inhabitants could live in a constant proximity to plants. The overhanging second floor also creates a shaded outdoor space. Le Carbosier was a believer in a house being a “machine for living” (P.886) He tried to instill a multi-functionality into every aspect of his design. Aesthetically, the villa is deceptively “simplistic,” dominated by straight lines, angular and cubic elements. There is a sense of “no-nonsense” functionality and cleanness to this structure. Advances in building methods and materials made it possible for the architect to be more creative and less worried about compromising structural integrity. The architectural style became immensely popular an d in now called “Internationalism” because architect all over the world began to work in it.
