Villa Savoye 3D Didactic Tool 2024 - 2024 Architecture, Europe

The Media Center has crafted a highly detailed, born-digital 3D model of the Villa Savoye which serves as a platform for several modes of exploration. The building can be viewed as an illustration of Le Corbusier’s Five Points of Architecture with animations to demonstrate each element in context, making the digital tool an expression of those principles.

Additionally, the Villa can be rendered at various periods in its history to examine the differing paint colors over the span of its use and restorations.
