ARCH1201 PROJECT 2: MODEL 1




MODEL 1. Infinite Structure

Regarded as a symbol of "freedom", Villa Savoye liberates itself from the limitations of floor areas, openings on facade, etc. This freedom is actually attributed to the structure system it adopted: column grid system. With this structure, free plan and free facade are enabled. Theoretically, if the column grid extends infinitely, the plan can also extend with it, which is the "infinite structure" means. This inference is tenable in the vertical direction as well, including the floor amount and related circulation system.
