Presentation

Described as a ‘box in the air’ by Le Corbusier, the Villa Savoye enables pupils to familiarise themselves with the avant-garde architecture of the 1930s and to understand its characteristics: forms, materials, geometry…

Concepts: 

  • Describe the materials and two-dimensional shapes observed 
  • Express one’s impressions and understanding of the work 
  • Position objects in relation to oneself and situate oneself within the space 
  • Identify temporal and spatial cues
