One of my favourite architects is Le Corbusier, I truly enjoy his style and focus on 90 degree angles and squares. I wanted to replicate his style and so this house has a cubed outline. I did however want to develop this idea, and so the same way that Le Corbuiser included smaller squares in his Shodan House, I included smaller triangles in this house. I used triangles in this instead of squares because I didn't want to 'copy' the Shodan House, but I wanted to take inspiration from it (and the Lieb House). The triangles came into play due to their common use in modern Japanese architecture which truly caught my eye in my recent visit. The beauty of this is that triangles are basic polygons, just like squares. From this you can tell how great the impact of Le Corbuiser's architecture has influenced me. I took a concept from his Shodan house and reformulated it to get my desired result. The outcome of this is a design consisting only of basic polygons, trapeziums, squares and triangles.
