Week 1 - Use of Colour


I noticed that within the Villa Savoye, Le Corbusier uses minimal colour. The building is mainly white, even in its finished form. Due to this I think that the landscape jumps out at you, and creates an external landscape within the building. As a person’s eye is drawn towards colour, their eyes are drawn to the landscape.

The idea of this model was to reverse the landscape onto the inside. I have two colours, white for the building and green for the landscape. I then did the external walls which frame the landscape.

After producing it i thought that it failed to convey the concept in the best manner. My tutor spoke about how he has framed views. Back to the drawing board I went.
