Villa Savoye, Poissy, France

Shot of landmark Villa Savoye, designed by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, and built between 1928 and 1931.
Posting because this bit of Modernism was done during the same time as Art Deco and you can see the ties between them. (Imagine adding Deco ornamental panels on the outside and bingo.)

This is probably the most interesting shot of the Villa Savoye I’ve seen yet.
There was once a guy called Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris, but that name was a bit of a mouthful, so he called himself ‘Le Corbuser’ instead, which was a whole lot more awesome, especially in 1920 - though these days, and with those glasses, he’d probably be considered a pretentious hipster.
(The image above is from the book “On Weathering: The Life of Buildings in Time” which looks like an interesting read)
