The Villa Savoye is one of the most important modern buildings of the 20th century which incorporated the Le Corbusier’s five principal points of architecture, and it could be the perfect realization of Le Corbusier's principles. This building is located outside of Paris and offers a space for occupants to escape from the crowded Paris. The location of the villa helped Le Corbusier to have freedom in design in order to create a masterpiece which would truly stand the test of time. This building, which looks like a floating box with melding form, was designed as sculptural and functional building and that’s why The Villa Savoye has been exceptional through the time.

Thus There are many differences and similarities between these two architects, and their designs differed substantially. The buildings that were designed by both of them can be recognized easily by their free plan spatial organizations and the fact that most of their designs follow same rules for example: both architects tried to replace the heavy structure with a flexible structure which allowed spaces to be arranged in any way that was desired to best context and function, or the fact that their designs were organized on a grid, and they achieved the free plan by separating the load bearing columns from sub-dividing walls; so buildings moved from enclosed, segmented spaces to flexible spaces with free …show more content…
Mies and Le Corbusier had same architectural point of view; however, Mies didn’t like the conventional four-walled room as space organization. Also, his designs allowed for more flexibility and they were more multi-functional because his designs were less rigid than Le Corbusier’s. Mies tried to open anything that could be opened instead of using the rigid as boxes of defined spaces acting like containers for specific functions. He completely liberated the plans of his buildings in order to provide minimal division which was necessary for privacy issues. In the most of his designs he started with a block of an open space and tried to carve out small sections as service spaces, and he left the rest as a large volumes of space which improved ease of flow and the air circulation. Also, Mies’s projects were always full of light, and they felt less claustrophobic and more comfortable than the traditional rooms because of the ribbon windows that he used in the most of his designs. Since he unconventionally arranged the grid to create the structure of the building, Mies van der Rohe’s projects were liberated in relation to free plan and liberation of
