A3 Villa Savoye Transformation
Four sites are described below. Each student will be assigned a site, and you will reconfigure the Villa Savoye to fit on these sites.
Each of the sites requires radical modifications to the plan, section and elevations of the house. Still, the reconfigured house should preserve the critical design concepts, elements and organizing principles discovered through your research and diagrams. Your design must accommodate all the programatic elements of the existing house. While the area of all rooms should be as close to original as possible (within 10%), the proportion of the rooms may be changed.
On each of the sites described pay careful attention to adjacent buildings, which will limit the location of windows and determine the possibility for light and views. All sites will require vehicular access, located either from the road to the west or as indicated in the image below.
