When I was a child I was always told that the more luxurious the house, the better it will be. SO before I see the project about Le corbusier and exhibition,I always regard luxury as the criterion to judge whether a house looks good,to me at the time, simple houses were just tools for people to live in. Only houses as luxurious as a palace or a castle could qualify as a work of art. But the idea changed after I saw their work.
Paris Montparness is a good example about this ,for shape ,it just use the simplest cube and linear array ,but it can have a kind of distinctive aesthetic feeling however, as if each cube, each room arrangement is proper.
“To go to the centrecity is to encounter the magnificent plentitude of “reality”(resource from the introduction of Paris Montparness )
Except to Paris Montaparness ,Building which is disgn by Le corbusier also have this kind of characteristic ,take my most impressive Villa Schwob that is construct in 1916 .the house just uses the combination of cylinder of different size and cuboid, interior adornment also is given priority to with contracted, far from say luxurious. But everything is simple, everything fits into the world order. The radically new beauty of villa becomes accessible It seems like something you might have thought up yourself,The mind understands ,it wants to participate and the educated eyetakes a fresh look at the trivialities of the modern world (resource from Le corbusier alive page 20)With the arrival of the new era, the world was remade, and Paris in the 20th century began to try new styles. Fortunately, his unique architectural style stood out in the era of striving for innovation
By 1923 Le Corbusier had succeeded in synthes izing the strands of his formative years into a personal vocabulary which he believedtobe rooted in the conditions of industrial society. His whitewashed cubic villas and studios of the early to mid-1920s with their metal windowframes, chunky hardware and bold geometries possessed the freshness and slight crudeness of strong innovations. They tooktheirplace alongside other exploratory works of the modern move ment, such as Gerrit Rietveld’s Schroeder House of 1922-4, Mies van der Rohe’s Brick Villa pro posal of 1923, Walter Gropius’s Weimar Bauhaus Office interior of the same year, or Rudolph Schindler’s Lovell Beach House of 1922-4. In retrospect one sees these as first steps towards what historians later called -oversimply -the international style(resource from Le corbusier ideas and forms )
Both Villa and Paris Montarpress are applied to the design of geometric aesthetics, and the visual aesthetics brought by the buildings with ingenious combination of different geometries is no less than the houses with delicate decoration, and even have a different aesthetic feeling. I think that’s why the idea that I’ve seen these buildings for years is broken.
Geometric design (GD) is a branch of computational geometry. It deals with the construction and representation of free-form curves, surfaces, or volumes[1] and is closely related to geometric modeling. Core problems are curve and surface modelling and representation. GD studies especially the construction and manipulation of curves and surfaces given by a set of points using polynomial, rational, piecewise polynomial, or piecewise rational methods. The most important instruments here are parametric curves and parametric surfaces, such as Bézier curves, spline curves and surfaces. An important non-parametric approach is the level set method.(resource from WIKIPEDIA)
