Villa Savoye

People are gathering near the rear facade and venturing inside of the Villa Savoye.

Last Wednesday the Paris Studio got the opportunity to visit Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye. As part of the Béton Brut seminar class students were able to spend 3 hours on site doing sketches and material studies while taking in a structure well ahead of its time!
