These images show the facade and floor plans for the Villa which are have regulating lines superimposed over the top. A quote by Le Corbusier's A new Architecture reads, "the choice of regulating line is one of the most decisive moments of inspiration it is symmetry of the vital moments of architecture". Despite this aspects of the villa cannot be explained using regulating line, specifically the ribbon window and roof garden, both included in his five points or architecture. I interpret this as displaying the mix of conceptual ideas as well as the practical needs within the building. The client has become the more important than the idea.
