Silicon 2.0 | Plongée au coeur d'une région où l'on rêve encore de changer le monde VILLA SAVOYE - A MACHINE FOR LIVING : Ultimate House The Villa Savoye is considered by many to be the seminal work of the Swiss architect Le Corbusier. Situated at Poissy, outside of Paris, it is an iconic architectural example of early modernism, the so-called International Style. Construction was completed circa 1929 but fell into disrepair during World War II. It has since been fully restored and is open for viewing. The house addressed "The Five Points", his basic tenets of a new aesthetic of architecture: The pilotis, or ground-level supporting columns, elevating the building. The ultimate modern house This house in many ways defined the course that modern architecture was to take in the 20th Century. The last in a series of white houses designed by architect Le Corbusier, Villa Savoye was designed as a weekend country house for the wealthy Savoye family and is situated just outside of the small village of Poissy in a meadow surrounded by mature trees. The Savoyes lived in the house until 1940.

SUPERBLACK is pretty black all right. In fact it’s the blackest black you’ll ever see. Tate became fascinated by the concept of the blackest black in 2012 after wrapping up his book Gamut Warning, and thinking at the time of space as “the master gamut.” Jordan Tate, New Work #174, 2013, Munsel Soil Color Chart, Mylar tape, aromatic cedar frame, 24 x 46 inches; New Work #173, 2013, Munsel Soil Color Chart, Mylar tape, aromatic cedar frame, 24 x 36 inches; Courtesy of the artist Tate, trained as a photographer, has since been on a quest to find the blackest black.
