Personal Project Boat House Concept & Approach These are the north and south 3-D view of the boathouse, the north façade has the free façade and the horizontal windows. It is the principle of the Le Corbusier to reduce the material and create much large space of the façade. Also the south façade has small windows in the restaurant but the large window in the ramp case. It is encourage people to look at the river side in the restaurant and café and the slope side in the ramp case.
These are the east and west 3-D views of boathouse. We are able to use the spiral stair and also the ramp to get into the restaurant and the café area. The ribbon window creates the large view of the river in the restaurant and café but there is smaller window in the office and the kitchen . It is encourage the staff to concentrate on their work not the outside scenery. The interior view of the boathouse is showing that the characteristics of the boathouse which is the curve wall to interrupt the view of the distance , to keep the privacy for people and to lead people toward the outside of the garden. The curve wall is also the principle of the master as well to give the object in the object and make the interior more interesting to people.

VILLA SAVOYE Concept The Villa Savoye was designed by Le Corbusier as a paradigm of the "machine as a home", so that the functions of everyday life inside become critical to its design. The movement of cars to enter the interior of the house (a concept that impassioned Le Corbusier for years) is the trigger for the design of the building. This concept also includes the fact that housing is designed as an object that allegedly landed on the landscape, is totally autonomous and it can be placed anywhere in the world. Architecture followed the style of airplanes, cars and ships, with the declared aim of achieving mass production of housing. Pillars supporting the ground floor also advanced this idea and the independence of the Villa from its garden, and was recognized as one of the key points of the first generation of International Architecture. Approach The ground floor has a curved form that is influenced by and emphasizes the movement of the cars in it. On one side, occupying about a quarter of the floor, is the garage, with capacity for three cars in 1930 (considerably larger than the current), and replacing the space formerly occupied by stables and horses.
In the front of the house near the garage entrance is the front door, in front of which there is a hall that has two main elements: a ramp that runs from the bottom up the entire building that constitutes its backbone, prolonging this movement from outside inward, and a sprial staircase. Everything inside the hall is painted white, representing the interests of Le Corbusier in architecture, health and hygiene in an era in which the city suffered the consequences of overcrowding in the form of epidemics, and reflects the important discovery of microbial life everywhere, including inside homes. This point is also reflected in the profusion of toilets and sinks inside the Villa, apparently well above the needs and taking advantage of the running water on which they counted. Further away from the entrance are three guest rooms and service areas. Wan g Yu j i e 3 7 3 8 2 7

Ozenfant House The 5 discipline of the design principle, which are the site information, the light condition, the repetition and unique, the served and serving space and the private and public space. Site, Relationship to the street and the surrounding area, to reflect the free facade in the 5 points, for example, the facade of the Ozenfant House are designed freely. Orientation is faced to the north. The approach to the site is the spiral stair towards to the studio room and the normal entry into the ground level. Also in order to avoid the noise coming from the street therefore it is facing to the natural view.
Light condition, To create light into the house which both in the private and the public space, especially in the living and studying area, is the principle of Le Corbusier’ s designs. To use the column in the system Dom-ino is in order to increase the light condition on the floors, which is same as the double height of the Ozenfant House in the second floor. Repetition and unique, The based shape, plans of the Ozenfant House have its own pattern. The Oenfant House has the geometrical pattern in each level, which are represent the repetition. However, the unique layouts from the different floors have the different individual shape of the walls and windows of the Ozenfant House. The repetition shows the character of the machine architecture and the system Dom-ino. However, the unique shapes reflect the different requires of the house. Serving and served space, The serving space usually is the living room and the bedroom which is providing the serves to people. The served space usually is the kitchen and toilet which is can be served by people. The separation of the serving and served space which reflects the functional of the house and the mechanic purpose of the building. The principle of the function of the house is one of the creativity design purpose in the modern architecture. Private and public space, To different served and serving spaces, the private space can be the toilet and bedroom and the public space will be the living room and the terrace. The private space has a common feature, it is bright space. In order to have the light the Ozenfant house has the skylight in the studio room. The opening space has the common feature which is the terrace of the house such as the roof garden in the Ozenfant House. Wa n g Yu j i e 3 7 3 8 2 7
