vILLA SAVOYE 

Le Corbusier’s white villa cycle and perfectly encapsulates the Modernist architectural vocabulary.  Abandoned, it was restored by the French state from 1963 to 1997. It was listed as a historic monument in 1964.

The five points of a new architecture. Formulated by Le Corbusier in 1927 as the fundamental principles of the Modern movement, the five points advocate reinforced concrete for constructing the pilotis, roof garden, open plan design, horizontal windows and free design of the façade - all applied in the design of the Villa Savoye.
