‘The reinforced concrete gives us the pilotis. The house is up in the air, far from the ground: the garden runs under
the house...’
'The columns set back from the facades, inside the house. The floor continues cantilevered. The facades are no longer anything but light skins of insulating walls or windows. The facade is free.'
'Until now: load-bearing walls; …. forming the ground floor and the upper stories, up to the eaves. The layout is
a slave to the supporting walls. Reinforced concrete in the house provides a free plan!...’
'The window is one of the essential features of the house. Reinforced concrete provides a revolution in the history of the window. Windows can run from one end of the facade to the other.'
'...the garden is also over the house, on the roof...’
