Le Cabanon
Le Cabanon
*ISOLATION
In plan, Le Cabanon has a radial scheme in which the dynamics of the space are directed to isolate the core of the house. Similar to St. Gall, there is an inward focus to the essence of the architecture. Every piece of furniture is placed in relation to the central core. As Corbusier states, “volume and surface are determined by the plan”. Le Corbusier painted on the window panel, so that when closed his focus would be directed into the interior. The siting and purpose of Le Cabanon reflect isolation as well. Built as a retreat overlooking the natural word, it serves as a physical and emotional removal to modern life. The identification of the horizon and vast sea through windows explore the infinite. The physical infinite inspires the individual metaphorically.

*COMMUNAL
Taking the concept of the singular cell from Le Cabanon, Le Corbusier explored the possibility of joining multiple cells to form a community in designing the apartment complex L’unite D’habitation. In section, the apartment cells also uses a radial scheme. They interweave each other and form a dialogue by sharing the same space. The physical relation to the neighbor further emphasizes the occupants to be interrelated to form a social body. Finally, the individual comprises the whole. Cells are bounded in a grid to form a solid block of architecture.
Le Corbusier, El cabagnon
Naturaleza: Se ambienta en un acantilado con mucha vegetación con vistas al mar, lo que se refleja en las materiales de los que está compuesta la casa.
Forma: la experimentación con los materiales contribuye a la moderna disposición del refugio
Material: materiales tradicionales, que se pueden obtener de la naturaleza, con formas nuevas
Espacio: planta libre, diferencia entre el espacio de día y de noche. También
