Final Submissions: Model 1

MODEL 1:
This model represents the way in which the structural elements (columns) of the Villa Savoye have been manipulated in order to accommodate the residential needs of the client. The 16x16 grid, which is an ordering tool used within the Villa demonstrates how Corbusier compromised his ideas concerning order and geometry, which he claimed were so important in promoting an ideal way of living in order to accommodate the family. This demonstrates just how important the client is and how the Villa is not just about an ideal "machine for living" but also a home for people to live.
