| Abstract |
For Le Corbusier, Plan Libre was a primordial element of architecture and became one of the main themes of architecture during his career. Being conceived by the need of new structure system, called Dom-Ino, Plan Libre was applied to most of his works through the studies of its function and form. It has been developed from the earlier simple functional Void into several types having more complex typologies. Therefore, this study aims to understand the typologies and the aspects of evolution of Plan Libre in terms of the compositions of Void in the works of Corbusier. The Void Composisition of Plan Libre can be classified into several categories by its characteristics. Furthermore, the evolution of these categories is also qualified by means of some criteria, such as form, space. And analyzing the use of Void, a significant point was found, that Void is not just for composition of Plan Libre but of whole space including open space. In conclusion, Plan Libre is an efficient method which controls the composition and creates emotional atmosphere in the space of Corbusier and is adopted and applied with variety. |
