Talk:Villa Savoye
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The picture shows the Villa Savoye's least significant facet. Isn't there anyone nearby who can photograph this landmark? RCSB 17:05, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] More constructive comments, please
Rather than informing us the picture is lacking without explaining why, it would be much more helpful if the person complaining about the picture would take the time to edify us on the finer points of the Villa Savoye instead.
[edit] A Constructive Comment
Although I did not write either of the two comments above, I cannot see how the second will help us resolve the problem of finding better pictures. Why should he edify you on the finer points of Villa Savoye when the article already provides a good insight into five things that the pictures should show? It would be very nice if the pictures revealed how Corbusier's five design concepts were realised through the Villa Savoye. In those pictures you cannot see how the concrete frame of the building is deliberately removed from the glass facade on the ground level, or how the large ramp in the middle of the building creates space between the floors, or that there is a rooftop garden etc etc. Perhaps a few more close-ups would be nice. Or even a few plan and section drawings. Does that help?
