The architectural walk and five points of architecture in a real magic machine to live in. Villa Savoye designed by Le Corbusier

Abstract

When analyzing and knowing in person all the current dynamics of Villa Savoye on the outskirts of Paris, its aesthetics, its functionality and the evidence of the five points that revolutionized architecture and that contributed to the development of modern architecture, the concern about why this iconic architect has been misinterpreted in architecture teaching workshops. In the same way, it is studied if the formal and functional characteristics are a sensible response to rationalism or if personal environmental experiences along with behavioral directions were also of great importance in its conception. For this reason, this article aims to analyze its aesthetics, the experience in the interior space and verify the sense in which the five points of the new architecture were applied. The article highlights the strengths and weaknesses of Villa Savoye and concludes that, in this project, Le Corbusier, not only thought rationally, but thought of it as a spiritual journey or walk that helps meditation and where beauty exists by providing a necessary calm.
