<div id="urb-ads-toc-box" class="post-ads-toc-box urb-ads-toc" style="display:none;"></div><p>One of the most iconic buildings of the 20th Century, the Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier outside of Paris, France has long been a symbol of the International Style in Modern Architecture &ndash; now one you can rebuild at home in <a href="http://architecture.lego.com/">LEGO</a> form.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/lego-architecture-landmark-series.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-42378" title="lego architecture landmark series" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/lego-architecture-landmark-series.jpg" width="468" height="648"></a></p>
<p>In fact, a model version is perhaps the best way to understand this structure, as its accomplishments are not all visible from ground-level photographs &ndash; particularly the compelling sectional progression and three-dimensionally-complex rooftop deck.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/lego-le-corbusier-house.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-42377" title="lego le corbusier house" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/lego-le-corbusier-house.jpg" width="468" height="614"></a></p>
<p>The structure embodies Corbu&rsquo;s core Five Points regarding residential design, being (1) supported by structural columns and elevated to create space below, (2) topped by a garden, reclaiming additional outdoor space displaced by the building, (3) open floor plans, (4) horizontal fenestration and (5) freely-designed facades.&nbsp;Of the Architecture Landmark Series by LEGO, this may be the most instructive model to date for young aspiring architects (ages 12 and up, that is!).</p>
