| Discussion | Shodan House Commentary
"The plans reveal an evident structural simplicity, but also, countering this, a wonderful plasticity in the handling of the rooms—in their form, their dimensions, in the shadows of the brise-soleiol on the faŤades and of the roof parasol, and moreover, in the hanging gardens swept by an orchestration of benificent air currents. This plan recalls the ingenuity of the Villa Savoye of 1929-1930 at Poissy, placed here in a tropical and Indian setting." — Hans Girsberger, ed. Le Corbusier 1910-60. p88. | |||||||
