noticed although the two villas share the same geometry and historical standards, the design by Palladio is mainly referenced to the Roman architecture, while Le Corbusier's design is referenced to several cultural sources. Rowe highlights that the design system of Palladio is clearly presented in plan, while the design of Le Corbusier mainly focuses on elevation.

The bending Factor The approach proposed by VAN DE WIEL (2003) considers plants as flexible elements and, therefore, incorporates mechanical aspects in the analysis. In his work, VAN DE WIEL (2003) refers to the study carried out by RAHMEYER et al. (1999), in which mechanical and resistance properties of different plant species were tested. RAHMEYER et al. (1999) stablished a relationship between the force required to bend the plant to an angle of 45 degrees in terms of the plant’s modulus of…

The creation of mass production, by way of Henry Ford’s introduction of the assembly line, catapulted the world into a realm of mass standardization, establishing a platform for lower production costs and a virtually homogeneous society. Nearly identical homes, vehicles and footwear ultimately sparks the need for practices that aid in perpetuating one’s own individuality. Physicality, for example, is one of the few palpable means of conveying personal identity. With mass production, fashion…
