Studying Le Corbusier's Le Petit Cabanon was a truly transformative experience, enriching my understanding of architectural principles and innovative design. This humble retreat, nestled on the French Riviera, epitomizes simplicity and functionality in its compact form, showcasing the architect's visionary approach to living spaces and seamless integration with nature. As I meticulously drafted plans, elevations, sections, and axonometric drawings by hand, I gained a profound appreciation for the meticulous craftsmanship inherent in architectural creation. This journey underscored the enduring value of honing traditional drafting skills in an age where technology often simplifies tasks, emphasizing the importance of mastering both time-honored and contemporary methods in architectural practice.
