The montage above in which the hand-drawn perspective of the building is placed corresponds to a panoramic photograph taken by myself on its actual site in Poissy, Paris, during a trip with some friends two years ago. With this composition I don't want but emphasizing the context in which it was located. Le Corbusier aimed for a house in the countryside, surrounded by nature but on the other hand, a house that although interacting with the environment it totally stands out.
As I tried to stress with the concept diagram/sketch on the bottom right corner, the very beginning of the design of this work is the creation of a volume prism-shaped floating over the ground and surrounded everywhere by nature. Since the volume is not on the ground the access to it becomes a tricky issue. The promenade starts to be fundamental aspect from the very beginning. Arriving from the "ground/earth" to the "roof/spiritual end" becomes the new matter. From this point I will send you to read the post about THE SECTION.
