Modernism

The Villa Savoye designed by Le Corbusier in 1928-1931 is an example of international modernism. It is a solid color and form which is a key to modernism. The majority of the building is lifted off the landscape and has a solid simple shape. The building is a stark contrast with the landscape which is not always typical of modern construction but can be when it is international modernism. The lack of solid construction on the base countered by the solidness of the second story make the building appear to float above the landscape and defy physics, this is a classic example of the key elements of modernism. The solid strip of windows in the second story and the wall of windows underneath are again an example of modernism because of the amount of natural light that is let in and this also helps the structure to blend with the landscape and give the interior a lighter and more open feel. 

The Villa Savoye is an example of modernism because of the simplified colored scheme, structural design, and use of windows. This Villa in Poissy, France is a constructed in the international modern style.
