Frankreichshowing how Giedion
links the new experiences of
space, which he designates
with the term Durchdringung,
with the characteristics of the
New Building, here illustrated
by Mart Stam’s project for the
Amsterdam Rokin from 1926.Le Corbusier, Villa on the Sea,
1921.
(From Sigfried Giedion,
Bauen in Frankreich, fig. 105.)
Giedion comments:
“Without having found an
architectural form, these designs
already contain the vertical fusing
of space, broad openings, and
the greatest possible avoidance
of partition walls made possible
by the ferroconcrete skeleton.”Le Corbusier, Cook House,
1926–1927.
(From Sigfried Giedion,
Bauen in Frankreich, fig. 109.)
Giedion comments:
“View from the study to large
room, stairs, and roof terrace.
Exterior space (roof terrace)
and the various interpenetrating
levels of the interior space are
blended together.”
