Abstract

Purpose: Le Corbusier addressed the dom-ino system that was the fabulous structural system in those days and the five principles of architecture such as pilotis, free plan, ribbon window, free facade and roof garden from his position of functionalism. He also suggested ‘The Architectural Promende’ in pursuit of the pure geometrical formation and his own original architectural aesthetics. Methods: This study was conducted in three stages: the first step of theoretical reviews about the meaning of the architectural promenade, and the second step of analysis about two houses - Villa la Loche and Villa Savoye - that the concept of the architectural promenade applied, the third step of comparative analysis about the architectural components applied to two cases in order to achieve the architectural promenade. Results: As a result of this study, the concept of the architectural promenade as one of important principles in his architectural works interconnects spaces by predicting human movements over time from the outside to the inside. It presents a completed static space, inducing the human movements to the intended spaces by natural light.
