- Separated the machines in Villa Savoye because cramming the machines could be thought of as offensive; Villa Savoye – cited as the illustration that a house is a machine to live in; looks like an ocean liner (open top deck, floating white struture in grassland, etc...); main rooms on the second floor; had to use machines (stairs) to get to land – feeling of isolation; tried to find meanings in the emerging forms of society that surrounded him and to extract dreams from the technical achievements of his era
- Designed a complex of workers’ houses in Pessac – Le Corbusier constructed dreams but were not accepted by workers; workers felt they could not live in houses with front doors opening directly into the living rooms; also had an absence of a roof which they did not like

Architecture in Response to Climate Terms/ Definitions
(Azimuth, Massing, Fenestration, Solar Shading) |
|
Definition
- Azimuth- position of the sun relative to cardinal points
- Massing- general mass of building (long faces should be north and south, short faces should be east and west)- width should be equal to height
- Fenestration- where doors and windows are located
- Solar Shading- apparatus placed on buildings for shading, to keep the heat out
|
|
|
Term
Thermal machines pay attention to...? |
|
Definition
- orientation - building facing south
- sun shading - solar shading
- 1.Vertical Sun Shading: Inserts Vertical Blockades to block out sun from East to West
- 2. Horizontal Sun Shading: Used to allow LOW Winter sun to shine into base of building, but blocks out the High Summer sun.
- thermal storage: large masses can contain heat/cool - ie glass tubes that heat up during the day, when the sun goes down, the heat from the tubes radiates back to warm the home.
- insulation: keep a temperature constant
- ventilation - air flow to keep room warm or cool.
