The above image comparison and text are, to me, an

interestingly simple way of exploring and expressing the

essence of the Villa Savoye. In Le Corbusier's own words,

"the house: a machine for living." The Villa Savoye was an

idealised home; not a formal or aesthetic revolution, but

an architecture completely servant to its human inhabitants

and their needs. Thus, similar to a farmer's vernacular dwelling

in both construction and intention.
