    V I L L A S A V O Y E
    -Ar. Le Corbusier
    1. Use pilotis to lift the buildings-
    Using columns to elevate the building
    P R I N C I P L E S

    from the ground level.


    2. Free floor plans- Designs devoid of
    structural load-bearing walls allow
    floor layout flexibility.
    Year: 1929
    3. Free facades- The façade of the
    Location: Poissy,France
    building will be separate from the
    building’s structural components.
    4. Ribbon windows- Horizontal
    window that runs along the entire
    length of the façade to improvise
    lighting
    5. The roof garden- The buildings
    should revert the built-up space it uses
    5

    back to nature by incorporating


    gardens in their terraces.

    CONCEPT
    A paradigm of the “Machine as a
    Home”, so that the functions of everyday
    life inside become critical to its design.

    Villa Savoye draws much inspiration from


    machinery in relation to its circulation.
    Le Corbusier was fascinated with cars, and
    cast many similarities between villa savoye,s
    circulation and movement of cars in the
    respective era.
    SEAGRAM BUILDING
    -Ar. Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe
    & Ar.Philip Johnson
    1. Structure
    built using a combination of a steel
    moment frame and a steel and
    reinforced concrete core for lateral
    stiffness, one of the first buildings of its
    kind to do so.
    F E A T U R E S

    2. Window blinds
    A characteristic of the International style
    is the building’s uniform appearance. To
    avoid the undesirable, disordered
    irregularity of window blinds being drawn
    to different lengths, Mies specified blinds
    which were operationally limited to three
    Year: 1954-1958
    positions – fully open, halfway open, or Location: New York,USA.
    fully closed. It stands as one of the finest examples of the
    functionalist aesthetic and a masterpiece of
    3. Interior corporate modernism.
    S P E C I A L

    The building used 1,500 tons of bronze, in


    addition to travertine and marble. This
    was intended to provide cohesion with
    the sleek, yet minimalist, external
    aesthetic.

    4. Plaza
    Another pioneering feature of the design
    was Mies’ decision to set the building
    back 100 ft from the edge of the street,
    creating an open plaza. This was part of
    his response to the dense environment of
    Manhattan, and was a rebuke to the
    conventional economics of skyscraper
    design and urban planning.

    The Seagram
    Building, like virtually
    all large buildings of
    the time, was built of
    a steel frame, from
    which non-structural
    glass walls were
    hung.
    BARCELONA PAVILION
    -Ar. Ludwig mies van der rohe
    1. Open plan spaces- Features one
    or more common spaces resulting in
    connected areas.
    CHARACTERISTICS

    2. Contrasting materials- The glass,


    steel frames, various large marble
    blocks covering the walls.
    3. Minimalist design- Achieving pure
    form of elegance through priotorizing
    its core function, using limited
    materials, neutral colors, simple forms.
    4. recise proportions- Using natural
    shaped occured in nature with
    appropriate ratios forming visual
    harmony.
    5. Symmetry- A strict grid pattern is
    followed throughout the structure. Also
    maerial asymmetry is used to achieve
    optical symmetry.

    CONCEPT- The pavilion was supposed to


    represent the new Weimar Germany as
    democratic, culturally progressive,
    prospering, and thoroughly pacifist, a
    self-portrait through architecture.
