Le Courbusier's Villa Stein was built in 1927 for Gabrielle Colaco-Osorio de Monzie. This bit of information is what started a in-depth analysis into Le Courbusier's Villa Stein. The project began with a 1/4"scale pull-apart model, which was buillt with a group, and then delved into in-depth diagrams and representational models. The subjects of our analysis included promenade, solid/void, structure, among other elements. Overall, it gave a great introduction to some formal rules of architecture.
Villa Stein Analysis - Studio 1-B
This model was built in a group with 4 other of my architectural colleagues in Studio 1-B.

Through this model I studied the system of voids apparent in Villa Stein as a transparent solid. This made me realize the importance of the interlocking void spaces as a factor in defining the buildings form.

With this model I represent the implied planes that are apparent throughout Villa Stein. These planes may really exist or are continued datums and organizing lines.

This diagram is representative of the underlying three-dimensional blocks that define Villa Stein. The juxtaposition of solid as solid and void as solid makes an interesting comparison, because it shows how each form defines begins to define its own space.
This diagram layers the information associated with the modules apparent in Villa Stein. It studies the relationship of servant and served, circulating spaces and stasis spaces, and other elements.
This diagram was a study to explain the rational behind Le Corbusier's non-orthogonal elements within a orthogonal grid and exterior.
This diagram explains the presence of continuous planes throughout Villa Stein. These planes are defined primarily by structural elements or certain exterior walls.
The Volumetric Diagram represents the concept that defines the facade and form of the Villa Stein. This concept is focused on a terracing of void spaces and solid spaces.
