Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the architectural form and spatial composition by understanding the concept of the ‘Les 4 Compositions’ presented by Le Corbusier and the house works pursued by him. Through sketches of the ‘Les 4 Compositions’ of the houses, his architectural concepts of the ‘Les 4 Compositions’ were examined how each of these concepts was applied to his architectural designs. Method: The concept of the ‘Les 4 Compositions’ were understood through analyzing his four house works. The First composition which each part is independently connected and the inside is projected to the outside corresponds to Villa La Roche. The Second composition which each part is compressed into a strict and pure cube corresponds to Villa Stein. The Third composition which free plan is composed through various volumes in the structure of the Dom-ino system corresponds to Villa Carthage. The Fourth composition which the advantages of each composition are polymerized corresponds to Villa Savoye. Result: The architectural form pursued by Le Corbusier contains his philosophy of architecture and how to solve it. The ‘Les 4 Compositions’ correspond to each independent and intellectual objective, and become a concept that can understand his architectural forms and theories.
