Here there is my section of the Villa Savoye. The section is through the ramp, the geographic and spiritual centre of the house. A section line is shown on each of the floor plans so it is possible to check what's going on at that point in every floor.
The section is such an interesting design in this building in particular since it shows the proportions of the main volume, but also how Le Corbusier starts and ends the promenade through the interior of the building itself by means of his unique element, THE RAMP.
With the section drawing we can also tell that the roof for him is a "lived space" where people reach the aim of their promenade and in spiritual way, the reach the garden so they are in peace.
I also wanted to stress that the main function of the ground floor is to get into the core part of the building, the main volume upstairs, so that's why the car itself can get through the ground floor and park by the start of the interior promenade.
