Villa Savoye is an icon of modern architecture. But who were Eugénie and Pierre Savoye, who had the house built between 1928 and 1930? Why did they commission Le Corbusier? And how did they live in the country house they dubbed "Villa les Heures Claires"? Their grandson Jean-Marc Savoye tells the story of the villa and its residents using rare documents and family memories. In his pictures, illustrator Jean-Philippe Delhomme – long fascinated by the building – brings to life the construction site, everyday life, the war period, its use as a barn, and its rescue from demolition. In 1965, Le Corbusier lived to see Villa Savoye declared a monument; in 2016 it earned a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage list and now welcomes 40,000 visitors each year.
Die Villa Savoye ist eine Ikone der modernen Architektur. Wer aber waren Eugenie und Pierre Savoye, die das Haus bauen liessen? Warum beauftragten sie Le Corbusier? Und wie lebten sie? Der Enkel Jean-Marc Savoye erzahlt die Geschichte der Villa und der Bewohner anhand von Dokumenten und Familienerinnerungen. Jean-Philippe Delhomme illustriert die Baustelle, den Alltag, die Kriegszeit, die Nutzung als Scheune und die Rettung vor dem Abriss.
