As regards to a "revolutionary" approach to bio-climatic trend for sustainable design, w/ due respect to a modernist Master, I beg to disagree because his focus is mostly on facade by a brise soleil/sunshade & double roof/parasol scheme but less on low-embodied heat/energy materials of brick, mud, wood & other local materials in India! It lacks architectural character of tropical humid/arid climate & cultural humane context for the sub-continent of India w/c can be applied to South East Asia. There must be a critical review of modernist approach that'll be globally updated but locally upgraded in ecological design for true & real regional architectural expressionism!👍It looks monumental for native residential form & function😔A good case study will be C. Correa/B. Doshi, both influenced by Le Corbusier & the latter was a 1st Indian for the 2018 Pritzker Prize Award before his death in 2023😢
Well, great comment. Thank you for your explanation. From my point of view, due it was 1951 project, where the bioclimatic and environmental design did not exist as nowadays. Le Corbuser as a Great architect took the weather conditions, site, orientation and how people lived there at that time and he creates a unique house meeting that criteria. For sure was not thought to be green construction, but he introduced many elements that today are trend on these types of projects and also met the environment needs. Open spaces, ventilated, not enclose areas as corridors, cross ventilation, shadows, local plants (xeriscaping), etc... that nobody at that time did. This is for me the great of these masters, were advanced to their times. Almost, 70 years later we are discussing these elements, why we did not followed before? this is the great knowledge he leaves a part of the technologies, concepts and other ways to design the machine of living. Thanks for sharing! we learn from each others!
All very commendable in Theory...but the Result, I fear, is so very Unattractive...the Grounds are a delight, however...I beleve this Structure could be called an example of 'Domestic Brutalism'...dgp/uk
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback on the structure!
I thought that Le Corbusier, late in his career, rejected the rigid “boxes” he had designed in his prime years for a “softer” more humane design aesthetic.
@@annieoakley9207 Check my video from Le corbusier explaining his life and career but yes, as all architects, at the end of its careers creates the master pieces. This is a great solution about concrete construction, weather control, and human life that shows how create new forms of living under a whole entire box that it is break in each corner. Thank you for seeing and commenting.
