Developed in the 1920s, Le Corbusier’s ‘Five Points of Modern Architecture’ (French: Cinq points de l'architecture moderne) are a set of architectural ideologies and classifications that are rationalized across five core components: Pilotis – a grid of slim reinforced concrete pylons that assume the structural weight of a building.
