 Le Corbusier and his revolutionary work in architecture was used as a basis for future projects in studio class. Many Corb projects were assigned to my class. Le Villa Baizeau was the project assigned to my small group, an obscure building with an even more obscure design process. In analyzing this building, our group found architectural moves which we were to bring through to our own projects the following term. Corbs use of two-story spaces, free facade and free plan played a large role in my following project. Drawings were done in AutoCAD and Adobe Illustrator. 3D model built in CAD as well.
