Le Corbusier's 5 points on architecture

- pilotis (columns) elevate the bldg above ground. replace supporting walls + bear load of structure - Free plan: achieved by use of point supports rather than load bearing walls. - free facade design: separating the exterior of the bldg from structure/ curtain wall - ribbon windows: horizontal windows allow rooms to be lit equally. - Roof gardens: flat roof used for domestic purpose while also providing essential protection to concrete roof *not as sexy as you are want to think

General Themes of these villas

1920s avant garde: embrace materials, liberate architecture from confines of the box. affirm human spirit. 1930s avant garde: consider nature more thoroughly and use it as inspiration. Nature contained/ restrained, not wild refined sensibility: Experience nature in cultured/mannered way obsessed with cleanliness + hygiene

Villa Mairea

Alvar Aalto, 1937, Finland Finnish nationalism against Russian authority. deep respect for vernacular architecture --> modern interpretation of traditional forms. Into local timber not machine aesthetic. Conforms to international style program: brick, stucco, wood, steel columns. L-shaped plan --> encapsulated/ private living area + garden. Connect modern house with forest topography. Create a modern architecture thats still about domesticity --> the confines of the natural environment. Sets steel columns at intervals + wraps them in wood at different heights (i hate that he did this, stupid) More livable modernism, softer with woods + fabrics that mediate the harsh edges. Sense of a primitive dwelling, cut away fire place, break in grid, small sculptural interests. Flooring changes depending on function: intimate spaces = wood, more public=tile. THE BIRTH OF THE KIDNEY SHAPED POOL. studio elevated of a primitive mossy rock pediment.
