"This apartment building with which Auguste Perret established his reputation is to be regarded as one of the canonical works of 20th-century architecture, not only for its explicit and brilliant use of the reinforced concrete frame (the Hennebique system) but also for the way in which its internal organization was to anticipate Le Corbusier's later development of the free plan.

Le Corbusier a conceput un nou instrument de dimensionare şi proporţionare a tuturor elementelor componente ale unui sistem -,,Modulorul realizat în relaţie cu dimensiunile omului,,,o nouă estetică, bazată pe expresivitatea volumelor simple şi a materialelor, pe o subtilă geometrie din care desprinde şi subliniază poezia unghiului drept a clarităţii şi a echilibrului.

Berlin Modulor (Ausschnitt) am Corbusierhaus(1958)

Le Corbusier s Modulor, a representative figure whose proportions drove the dimensions of the spaces Corbusier designed. The Modulor itself was fashioned after Leonardo da Vinci s Vitruvian Man who symbolized the Renaissance s conception of the human being as subject, conceived as a universal ideal.

The layout of the plan is completely independent from the structural system providing endless variations in the arrangement of the interiors. The skeleton consists of free-standing pillars and rigid floors. Maison Domino was designed as a building prototype for mass production. It can be seen as the precursor to the clear separation of support from infill in housing.

Le Corbusier Ozenfant House and Studio,1922

"The house and studio in Paris for Le Corbusier's friend the painter Ozenfant is an early example of 'minimal' architecture, a prototype of the Dom-ino house and a manifestation of some of the principles which Le Corbusier was to set out in his famous 'five points.' It possessed a geometrical clarity inside and out which has since been lost with the elimination of the north-light roof and its replacement by a flat one." Dennis Sharp. Twentieth Century Architecture: a Visual History. p66.

le corbusier five points of architecture First, Le Corbusier lifted the bulk of the structure off the ground, supporting it by pilotis reinforced concrete stilts. These pilotis, in providing the structural support for the house, allowed him to elucidate his next two points: a free façade, meaning non-supporting walls that could be designed as the architect wished, and an open floor plan, meaning that the floor space was free to be configured into rooms without concern for supporting walls. The second floor of the Villa Savoye includes long strips of ribbon windows that allow unencumbered views of the large surrounding yard, and which constitute the fourth point of his system. The fifth point was the Roof garden to compensate for the green area consumed by the building and replacing it on the roof. A ramp rising from ground level to the third floor roof terrace allows for an architectural promenade through the

architecture, in the West or East, is no stranger to copying, a (professionalized) practice that continues to this day in all corners of the world. (For sterling proof see these 10 copycat buildings.) We find the latest example in Australia, where at the National Museum of Australia (NMA) in Canberra, strolling visitors may come across a black replica of Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye.
