I chose this building because I wanted an international building that I have never seen or heard about before. I want to learn about something I didn’t know before.
This building style and type is a modern house that is made of mainly stucco that is over brick. It was built after the war and Le Corbusier had to deal with a difficult ground surface that was uneven and the budget was limited. Le Corbusier used common materials such as brick, tiles, and vaults formed with tiles as permanent shuttering. The roof is covered with grass, which is interesting because you do not usually come across houses with growing life on top of them. This house is very square looking and has ninety-degree angles everywhere you look. The back of the house is very open because of the many squares and rectangles that are empty in the middle. The front is very bland with a few windows. The whole house is white with a black bottom which makes the house stand out from others and visually appealing.
