IT works

WWW.SHIZDA1.COM/SAVOYE


For some reason, my frontpage layout does not appear on the actual webpage,
So I'm wondering if it shows in the uni assignment folder or not, because it worked perfectly on my html and computer.

The Chosen Building For modelling










Villa Savoye





Le Corbusier1929-30





One of Le Corbusier's most important works, the Villa Savoye is dramatic in its apparent simplicity. It is viewed as the climax as well as the end of his works done in the so-called Purist style. Important stylistic features include facades that are essentially similar, without an obvious traditional front facade; a smooth white (that is "pure") reinforced concrete surface with continuous horizontal (ribbon) windows in the first floor and without historical ornament; a dark green base and supporting pilotis (slender columns) which raise the building so it appears to be floating; a flat roof with a garden or solarium; an open plan which leads to the interpenetration of inside and outside.
