EEJ MAIN Aptitude QUESTION #10965
Question 1
The Villa Savoye in Poissy, France, exemplifies Le Corbusier's 'Five Points of Architecture'. Which of the following is NOT one of those five points?
  • Pilotis (stilts lifting building off ground)
  • Free facade (non-structural exterior walls)
  • Flat roof with garden
  • Exposed structural concrete (béton brut)✔️
Correct Answer Explanation

Le Corbusier's Five Points of a New Architecture (1927):

  1. Pilotis — columns lifting the building off the ground ✓
  2. Free plan — open floor plan enabled by structural columns ✓
  3. Free facade — non-load-bearing exterior walls ✓
  4. Horizontal windows (ribbon windows) — long panoramic windows ✓
  5. Roof garden (flat roof with terrace garden) ✓

Exposed concrete (béton brut) is associated with Brutalism (a later movement). Le Corbusier used it but it's not one of the original Five Points.
