The Villa Savoye is arguably Le Corbusier's most significant contribution to modernist architecture and epitomizes all principles of his Five Points of Modern Architecture. [7] Situated in Poissy , it was constructed from 1928–1931 and commissioned by Pierre and Eugénie Savoye, who granted Le Corbusier and his collaborator Pierre Jeanneret ...
The Villa Savoye uses the horizontal ribbon windows found in his earlier villas. Unlike his contemporaries, Le Corbusier often chose to use timber windows rather than metal ones. It has been suggested that this is because he was interested in glass for its planar properties, and that the set-back position of the glass in the timber frame ...
Le Corbusier adopted what he considered to be the most important five architectural points in his architecture: pilotis, free plan, horizontal windows, a free façade and roof top gardens. The ideas all surface around the main point of free plan and the use of the Dom-ino system.

[2] Horizontality is emphasized by the narrow intervals between the building's parapet and overhang; not only does this have the design impact of emphasizing the horizontal style, it has the practical effect of screening out the heat of the Mediterranean ...
This is the first project into which Le Corbusier incorporated "free plan" and "free facade" into his design. These ideas later become two of Corbusier's famous Five Points of Architecture . Domino Frame is also an outcome of this experimental design, which became the dominant design concept of Corbusier's later works.
The Ville contemporaine (French pronunciation: [vil kɔ̃tɑ̃pɔʁɛn], Contemporary City) was an unrealized utopian planned community intended to house three million inhabitants designed by the French-Swiss architect Le Corbusier in 1922.
His work was responsible for introducing ribbon windows and other elements of Le Corbusier's architecture to Yugoslavia. [3] Ibler's ten-story building in Zagreb, built in 1958, colloquially referred to as the "Wooden Skyscraper" (Croatian: Drveni neboder) [4] In 1926, Drago Ibler became a professor of architecture at the Zagreb Academy of Fine ...
