The Five Points of Modern Architecture is an architecture manifesto conceived by architect, Le Corbusier.[1] It outlines five key principles of design that he considered to be the foundations of modern architectural discipline.[2] [1]Werner Oechslin, “Les Cinq Points d’une Architecture Nouvelle,” trans. Wilfried Wang. Assemblage, no. 4 (1987): 83–93. https://doi.org/10.2307/3171037.

The concepts of Five Points of Architecture are not always practical in application. After the completion of Villa Savoye, Le Corbusier began to reject the principles articulated in his manifesto, preferring instead, structures that were more harmonious with nature.[5]

I will expand on Le Corbusier’s aforementioned departure from Five Points. Its technical shortcomings, such as roof garden leakage and other limitations will also be discussed.[6] Assorted hyperlinks included.
