The 5 secrets for success
Among the many theories that Corbusier developed throughout his life, one of the main ones is that of The 5 points of architecturewhere it explains the 5 factors that help any construction, especially residential, take full advantage of light and space.
High buildings on pilotis: The first point speaks of always lifting the main surface, so that the level of the ground can be occupied by the movement of the cars, the protagonist of the public space in modernity.
Free plant: The entire structure that stops the construction must be placed on the perimeter of the project, in this way it is ensured that it will not interfere with the interior design and leaves the clear area to create a much wider space.
Free facade: This point focuses on the outer structure of the construction is proposed to remove the line from the front to allow greater compositional freedom.
Horizontal window: This is one of the most used points currently, not only in residential constructions, also in large buildings. Horizontal windows focus on creating an opening that extends throughout the facade, guaranteeing an optimal lighting level for the entire interior.
Garden terrace: Another of the main characteristics of Le Corbusier's architecture is his conscience to return to the planet. That is why at the last point he explains that the amount of natural space that a building occupies when building must be returned to nature with the creation of a garden on the building of the building.
All these architecture points They are the ones who have Inspired great architectural currentssuch as the use of large windows, biophilic design and even the use of certain materials such as concrete. That is why this theory is still so relevant today in the world of architecture, design and interior design.
