Le Corbusier and Vienna Seccession

As the time pass, the world has developed and finally the architecture has been changed through time. The Union of Austrain Artists, or also known as “The Vienna Seccession” is the movement during 1897 which consists of new style of Architecture. The style of this new architecture can be seen through the buildings as they are the icon of the movement. The style that can be seen through building will be modernist and send the influences later on to the next generation. Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier is one of the example of the modern architecture which was built between 1928-1931. Villa Savoye is focused on the simplicity of the shape which is the geomertic shape. Being a concrete structure creates a modern feeling. Also, Its a repeating pattern and puer geometry which are accordance to the concept of “The Vienna Seccession”. However, during the previous period, Bourgeoisie is used to refer to the range of socio-economic class or the “rich” people. The architecture in that period is very different from the Villa Savoye, which it was mostly Classicism. For example, Garnier Opera House was built between 1861 to 1875 for the Paris Opera. It was a design for Bourgeoise and the architecture style was really luxury and use gold/coper as the color range representing the wealthiness. This shows the different between modernist architecture, simplicity and machinary feeling and classicism architecture, wealthiness and handcraft.
