pre-conference tour
two modern villas
Saturday, May 29, 2010
14h00 - Departure by bus from the Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine.
(Meeting in front of the “Pavillon de Tête” entrance, Place du Trocadéro).
Expected return time to Paris at 19h30, depending on traffic.
15h00-16h30 - The villa Savoye, 1928-1931, Poissy, by Le Corbusier
This internationally known villa illustrates Le Corbusier’s “five-point theory for a new architecture”: free-standing pillars, open-floor plan, long horizontal sliding windows and independent façade. Inside, it is conceived according to Le Corbusier’s concept of the architectural walk or “promenade” allowing for a spatial experience specific to the house which encourages contemplation. It was one of the first 20th buildings to be listed as a Historic Monument in 1965 by André Malraux.
17h00-18h30 - The maison Louis Carré, 1957-1959, Bazoches-sur-Guyonne, by Alvar Aalto
This masterpiece of Modern architecture was built for the French art dealer Louis Carré. Alvar Aalto conceived the house as well as its furniture and garden. It is thus an integrated work of art, as fine in its details and materials as in its setting in the countryside. It is the only existing building designed by Aalto in France and it was only opened to the public recently in August 2007.
