  • How to design architecture? And what makes a design process an interesting one? For non-experienceddesigners, it is difficult to understand typical aspects of exemplary design processes, like conflicting constraints, using mixedmedia, divergent thinking, working iteratively and in a non-lineair way, or integrating, many topics in one solution,balancing between a straightforward concept and ambiguïty, elaborating earlier concepts and learning from history. Thesecharacteristics were highlighted in various publications by several researchers during the past decades. And although theVilla Savoye was built before all that research, the extensive documentation of its design process by the Fondation LeCorbusier, makes it an excellent example to illustrate typical aspects of interesting design processes in a retroactive manner.
