DESIGN 3

This is a low pressure fan that was built during the early 20th century when modern designs were slowly becoming famous to the world. According to Le Corbusier this was a design of simplicity, sleekness and efficiency. More prominently he believes that modern houses should have these characteristics. It showed in his designs, and for it he is known as the father of modern architecture.

 

Villa Savoye, a well renowned house for its design and philosophy, was also designed by Le Corbusier. It almost looks like a UFO ready to take off into space. It has some characteristics of the Low pressure fan shown on the last picture too, but what's more obvious is that it's made of simple forms and shapes. As if it's made from a sliced cube with pilotis on the sides and 2 cylinders on the roof top. It's sleek, simple, efficient to its purpose, which is to be a house and nothing else. 

I was inspired by Le Corbusier's idea of finding forms and inspiration from objects. So i compiled some random stuff that i had laying around and took a picture of it. I printed it, and traced it.

When i finished tracing, it became my floor plan.         Using the those shapes i drew it on paper and raised its walls while drawn in perspective.This just shows how the forms and shapes we see everyday could be good architecture too, minus the philosophy that architects would usually add :P 

Some ideas came from the book Architecture Of Happiness
