About Villa Savoye in Poissy

The artwork, titled “Villa Savoye in Poissy,” was created by the artist Le Corbusier between 1928 and 1931 in Poissy, France. This architectural masterpiece belongs to the Constructivist art movement and is classified within the genre of architecture.

The artwork exemplifies modern architectural principles with its geometric form, clean lines, and stark white facade. Elevated on slender pilotis, the building appears to float above the ground, creating a sense of lightness and permeability. Ribbon windows wrap around the structure, promoting a seamless connection between the interior and the surrounding environment. The building’s flat roof is designed to serve as a functional terrace, further emphasizing the harmony between nature and architectural design. The Villa Savoye is a testament to Le Corbusier’s visionary approach to modern living spaces.
