LE CORBUSIER, 1921. A SEASIDE VILLA CONSTRUCTED WITH MASS-PRODUCTION UNITS
Reinforced concrete piers every 16 feet in each direction; slightly vaulted ceilings of reinforced slabs. Within this framework, which is exactly like that of industrial buildings, the plan is arranged as required by means of slender partitions. The net cost is extremely low.
On the aesthetic side there is a gain of the utmost importance in the use of standard units of dimension. The lower cost of such a building, as compared with that of a more complicated form of construction, enables a greater ground area to be covered with a larger building. The lightly constructed walls and partitions can be rearranged at any time and the plan altered at will.
