Villa Savoye - This is an in-depth analysis of Le Corbusier's architecture for never-before recognized architectural wit that is front and center of his most important architecture. While 'wit' is the point of entrée to the subject, the themes of these architectural compositions are more specifically on wit, confessionals, self-memorialization, and revenge.
