Villa Savoye (machine for living in)

 

Villa Savoye
 

Based on the use of self-replicating materials used in Nanoarchitecture, Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye’s own shadow tramples on the building, pushing out pink innards. These breathing blobs also stick to the shadow “monster”, adding to the changing form of the structure. In this animation the “machine for living in” is now a living machine. 2:00 min., 2007
