Eileen Gray was born Kathleen Eileen Moray in 1879 in Southeastern Ireland to a distinguished family. She grew up in a family home called Brownswood which she loved dearly. Never raised as a protected child, Eileen was quiet, shy, and introverted, but she had a bold personality and was not to be limited by conventions. She always strove to do the best she could in school and in the work she did of her own initiatives. After her brother and father died in the early 1900s, Eileen traveled to Switzerland to send her much loved family members off. To pursue her love of freedom, she decided to go to art school in London.<br />
<br />
In London Eileen attended the Slade School of Fine Art in London, a part of the University of London. Here, Eileen learned to draw and to paint but she quickly found herself loosing interest in drawing. She felt herself to not be proficient in it and decided to pursue the decorative arts instead. After a visit to Paris with her mother in 1900, Eileen felt immediately drawn to the city and in 1907 she decided to move there permanently. She rented a large apartment, 21 rue Bonaparte, which she purchased 3 years later and where she remained for the next 70 years. Eileen was obstinate and disliked the mainstream culture, only taking interest in new inventions in art and technology, but did not take any interest on anything labelled 'avant-garde'. She rejected the belief that the machine would transform life, but rather liked to believe that there is a need for emotion in all creations.<br />
<br />
After coming across a lacquer repair shop in Paris, Eileen took to the technique of creating lacquered panels and met a contact of the shop owner, Seizo Sugawara, whom she worked with and moved back to London with when World War I broke out. After the war, they moved back and Eileen was commissioned to furnish and create lacquer panels for an apartment. She studied with him for four years. Soon, she opened a shop and started to sell her panels.<br />
<br />
In 1921, Eileen Gray met Jean Badovici. Under his influence, she began to resent her earlier, more luxurious work, and started to lean towards more simplistic, modern forms. Jean Badovici was one of the most influential figures in Eileen's life in terms of architecture. In 1924, Eileen was taught by Adrienne Gorska to draft, and just a year later, Jean Badovici asked Eileen to build him a little refuge in the South of France. </div>
<div>
<br />
Hence, the construction of E.1027 began in 1926. Eileen studied the house as a function for those who lived in it. She wanted E.1027 to embrace its context, instead of changing the landscape. She studied light, wind, and the precise passage of the sun before deciding on an orientation that best suited its purpose. Its orientation enabled the cooling east wind to be captured by the roof staircase. Eileen remained on site throughout the whole process, though Badovici was rarely there. She worked with him on the structure of the building. During the building process, Eileen lived in solitary existence and saw only the workers. There was no road to the site, so all the materials needed to be brought by wheelbarrow.<br />
<br />
Eileen's belief that the house should be very livable meant that she designed all the rooms orientated away from each other. Each had its own space, creating a sort of privacy and intimacy. Each detail of the house was scrutinized over, customized to best suit one who was living in it. Each window was tailored and changed to suit the orientation of the house and the function of the room. The furniture in it was designed to be movable and transformable. Eileen's first house, E.1027, was finished in 1929, though there were paper houses that she made in her study of architecture before that.<br />
<br />
In the early 1930s, Eileen built Tempe à Pailla for herself off the coast at Castellar. The small house meant that Eileen had to rise to the challenge of living in such a compact space. She designed furniture that would be multifuncional.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of World War II, Eileen stayed in Tempe à Pailla, though she and most foreigners were forced to move away from the sea. At the end of the war, Tempe à Pailla was looted, and a flat in which she kept her possessions was blown up. Eileen reached a low point in her life.<br />
<br />
Eileen moved back to Paris, a place that she always loved, and lead a quiet life in her apartment on 21 rue Bonaparte. She preoccupied herself with drawing up plans for towns, and some very concrete ideas that Badovici set upon her. At the end of 1946, after Eileen had designed a large scale theatre, she was asked to design furniture and equipment for a worker's flat. She refused, saying it was because a lack of material, but in reality, it was because her eyesight had started to give. Through her stubborn and focused personality, Eileen worked through times when her fingers would numb and would go on until her eyesight blurred out at the end of the day. Rue Bonaparte became her permanent residence.<br />
<br />
During the last years of her life, Eileen took up painting again, though she was not completely satisfied with her results. She was once again recognized after an article that was published to appreciate her career. Eileen was suddenly documented again and she received request after request for interviews. Eileen became frail in her nineties, though her stubborn personality never changed. On Sunday, October 31, 1976, Eileen gray passed away. Her death was announced on the radio, and it was the first time her name was said on the radio.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWuuGxhH1quGvzXBklBtWtPrU6T8EfoWhIWzUkSCiers_kLikzotcTe8bMIfznSkT5GFDmhbP1ZeGFM-caUJBHDsaVfQDZK2GiICzjy0ELfKCYscj8ZwJK-vyeOJOoYF_k8C7aydOuaQw/s1600/Jean-Badovici.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWuuGxhH1quGvzXBklBtWtPrU6T8EfoWhIWzUkSCiers_kLikzotcTe8bMIfznSkT5GFDmhbP1ZeGFM-caUJBHDsaVfQDZK2GiICzjy0ELfKCYscj8ZwJK-vyeOJOoYF_k8C7aydOuaQw/s320/Jean-Badovici.jpg" width="214" /></a></div>
<br />
There is much speculation about the involvement of Jean Badovici in the design and construction of E-1027. The 10 and the 2 in the name of the house are code for his initials, but it's unclear if his role extended beyond that of influence and advice to Eileen Gray. A brief investigation after the break.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's a little bit we do know about the mystery man:<br />
<br />
Jean Badoviso was born in Bucharest in 1893 and studied architecture at L'Ecole des Beaux Arts and at L'Ecole Speciale d'Architecture in Paris from 1917 until 1919. In 1921, he met Eileen Gray, who was in the process of opening her gallery at Jean Desert. He was 28 and she was 43 at the time. The story goes that they became lovers.<br />
<br />
In 1923, he became the editor of an architectural publication that would grow to be one of the most influential in Europe, titled <i>Architecture Vivante</i>. It is said that he was the one that persuaded the powerful publisher Albert Morancé to give the journal it's start. Architecture Vivante became the mouth piece for some of the most important characters in the modern movement. The magazine frequently published and reproduced works by the members of the De Stijl movement, as well as those from the Bauhaus, particularly Walter Gropius. Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies Van der Rohe, Bruno Taut, and Adolf Loos all contributed to the magazine throughout it's lifetime. Through this position, Jean Badovici became friends with a lot of important figures, including Corbusier, who grew to be quite close with both Jean and Eileen. In 1924, Badovici helped to write an issue of the Dutch magazine,Wendingen, devoted entirely to Eileen Gray.<br />
<br />
Badovici helped Gray develop as an architect in training through series of home renovations in Vézelay, as well as a few theoretical architecture projects such as the House for an Engineer and the rethinking of one of Adolf Loos' houses.What is evident, then, is that when it came time to collaborate with Gray on E-1027, that he had an interest in realizing a lot of the architectural principles and objectives that were published in his articles. The influence from the leading architects featured in Architecture Vivante in the design of E-1027 are obvious. The house incorporates all of Corbusier's "Five points towards a new Architecture", the spiral staircase that runs from the ground to the roof is inspired by Tatlin's Monument to the Third Internationale, and a lot of Eileen's furniture is inspired by the Bauhaus and DeStijl movements. Architecture Vivante was one of Gray's most important textbooks, and Badovici seems to have been her greatest mentor.<br />
<br />
So how much of the design of E-1027 was Badovici responsible for? According to Peter Adams, he visited the construction site only on occasion, making sure that the technical matters were being tended to properly. Caroline Constant, on the other hand, suggests that he was much more involved. She notes that because of his deep involvement in architectural discourse at the time, that he felt responsible for implementing the avant garde objectives that <i>Architecture Vivante</i> was known for. It seems from a lot of Eileen's comments suggest that she was opposed to the dehumanizing nature of the international style, so according to Constant, it may make sense that it was Badovici who insisted such strict adherence to Corbusian principles. Badovici also owns the patents for the innovative sliding windows in the home, suggesting that the may be responsible for their design as well. <br />
<br />
While his exact role remains unknown, we do know that he and Eileen lived in E-1027 after it was completed. In 1929, Architecture Vivante published a special issue devoted entirely to E1027, in which he gives a medium for Eileen to talk about her architectural objectives in the design through a back and forth dialogue between the two. Eileen designed another house for herself in 1932, and moved there, while Badovici kept the home as a vacation spot, and built another home for himself in 1938.<br />
<br />
When Corbusier painted his infamous murals throughout the house between 1937 and 1939, it was Badovici who encouraged him to paint them. Despite Eileen's outrage, Badovici sent a letter to Corbusier saying, "Your frescoes more luminous and beautiful then ever. Intact. The contented always have little need to express their joy too vocally .... "<br />
<br />
The house remained in Badovici's possession until his death in 1956. Despite their differences, Eileen and Badovici were partners. Their lives were as intertwined for some time as the code E1027 implies. He was undoubtedly Eileen Gray's biggest mentor in her architectural development, and an important figure in architectural discourse in the early half of the 20th century.<br />

It was a period full of contradictions and uprise. These circumstances created an environment of changes and innovations in the artistic and design world as well. Eileen's career was influenced by a number of factors, including those she worked with, those she learned from, and the movements of the artistic world around her. Being a very intelligent and observant woman, Eileen looked into the past for inspiration as well as the present.<br />
<br />
Eileen was influenced by the styles of different places of the world. Greece and Japan were two big ones, as she studied Lacquer in the Japanese style, and often used materials she imported from Japan. Great architects at the time, such as Adolf Loos, and Le Corbusier also influenced her style.<br />
<br />
Eileen first visited Paris with her mother in 1900. In 1901, the Societé Nationale des Artists Décorateurs formed with one aim in mind - to free its artistic members from the exhibitions of the painting world, and to widen artists' horizons in terms of the kinds of work they did. In 1906, the Societé showed a collection of works in an annual exhibition, to which Eileen became a regular visitor. With this, she developed a keen interest in the decorative arts.<br />
<br />
In 1907, a group of architects formed Deutscher Werkbund in Berlin, and in 1910, they had a Paris exhibition. The exhibition contained a lot of well made furniture with simple use of wood. Eileen admired this and the style of it was sure to affect her own furniture designs.<br />
<br />
In Eileen's earlier work, she took inspiration from the Vienna school. She looked at many paintings of Gustav Klimt, and took to the architecture of Otto Wagner. The concepts of Antonio Gaudi of Barcelona and Henry de Velde of Belgium influenced her, as these architects saw architecture and furniture design as two parts to a whole and as something that simultaneously impacted space.<br />
<br />
Eileen lived through movements of art, and one that affected her during her early career was Art Nouveau. Eileen appreciated the honesty and liberating forces in the style of Art Nouveau, but she always found that it was excessive in its forms and designs. She found herself wanting to work with simpler lines that related to the Arts and Crafts movement of her own native country. She valued the Russian constructivism and De Stijl movements, which was very different from Art Nouveau.<br />
<br />
During her friendship with Badovici, Eileen kept in touch with Le Corbusier. Badovici published many of Corbu's works. Through this, she had all of the plans to Le Corbusier's projects. Being able to see the plans to projects such as Ville d'Avray, Villa Savoye, La Roche, Villa in Gardiens, and more, Eileen was influenced by his organization and concepts. She had always read his writing, and in 1923, when <i>Vers Une Architecture </i>was published, Eileen admired his high sense of moral principles. However, she, unlike him, wanted to have humanity and compassion in her projects, as to him, designs and houses were only a machine.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"The engineer's art is not enough unless it is guarded by human needs. A house is not a machine to live in. It is the shell of a man, his extension, his release, his spiritual emanation. Not only its visual harmony, but its organization as a whole, the whole work combined together, make it human in the most profound sense." -Eileen Gray </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i> </i>However, Le Corbusier had effected her in the sense that his influence had helped her make a decision on finding her own style. She was able to decide that architecture needed a distinct, but practical statement. She had found the purpose of architecture that encapsulated her character.<br />

Eileen Gray and Jean Badovici carefully chose the site to correspond to what they believed would provide a peaceful vacation house. Badovici had specified the South of France. This area includes the French Riviera coastline, part of the Alpes-Maritimes, with cliffs that overlooks the sea. It was the mild climates, peaceful winds, and bright sunshine that attracted Eileen to this area. She also loved a challenge, and the changing levels of the site of E.1027 posed a tough one.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The Alpes-Maritimes
département are sheltered by the Alps. This area of France has its own micro-climate. The Alps usually shields this area from the Mistral, which are strong, harsh winds that blow throughout france. Like Monaco, the Alpes-Maritimes and French Riviera areas have calm winds that blow from the
sea to the land. Sometimes, in the summer,
the Sirocco brings high temperatures and reddish desert sand from Africa, though this is rare. The winters are mild with very little wind. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The Alpes-Maritimes receives around 2600 hours of sun, nearly sunny on 300 days a year, meaning that it gets more than enough sunshine to provide a nice vacation home, as Eileen Gray intended for E.1027 to be. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Rain can
be torrential, particularly in the autumn, when storms and rain are caused by
the difference between the colder air inland and the warm Mediterranean water
temperature. It is infrequent, but abundant, and occurs usually in February, and also October - November. The rainiest months are September, October, November, and December.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Snow is
rare, falling once every ten years. 1956 was exceptional, when 20 centimeters
blanketed the coast. In January 1985 the coast between Cannes and Menton
received 30 to 40 centimeters. In the mountains, snow is present from November
to May.</span><br />

Eileen has always intended for E.1027 to incorporate itself into the landscape, to become one with the context it was in. In the site of E.1027, the things that were the most important when she was building it was the wind, the sun, and the sea. She orientated the building so that the sun and the wind could travel freely through the house at certain times. (Click <a href="http://arch100-e1027.blogspot.ca/2012/12/movement-of-people-and-sun-through-e.html">Here</a> for more on movement of sun). She designed the house so that the cooling wind would be able to spill in from the winding staircase.<br />
<br />
A lot of thought was put into considering the wind and the sun. As usual, Eileen put a lot of attention into the details of the context.<br />

Paris to repair the lacquer work exhibited in the Exposition
Universelle. She found, after working with Sugawara for four years,
that she had developed the lacquer disease on her hands<span style="font-size: small;">. However, </span>she
continued with her work and it was not until 1913, when she was
thirty-five, that she exhibited any of it. When she did, it was a

Jean Badovici gained reputation not for constructing buildings but
for analyzing and supporting avant garde architecture. He was an
influential critic and mentor of international modern architecture in
France since he began editing the magazine </span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>L’Architecture
Vivante.</i><span style="font-size: small;"> Soon after the construction of E. 1027 it was published in this <span style="font-size: small;">magazine. </span></span></span></span>

This is another icon of <span style="font-size: small;">m</span>odernist architecture, a space designed for
her to dwell and work, a living/working machine as she wanted it, a
space which could be constantly changed with multi-purpose furniture. She built on existing structures which anchored the
house, based her house on ship structures, using forms that were long
and narrow, many decks for views and levels for storage<span style="font-size: small;">, much like E. 1027. Also, </span>Eileen
treated the outside space the same way as she treated the inside
space; she did this by having the same tiles, the same material
inside and out<span style="font-size: small;">. </span> </span></span></div>

The following two sketches demonstrate this idea. The first sketch shows a floor plan of E. 1027 and how the interior and exterior merge into a single entity. This idea of merging the exterior and interior space is further shown in how Eileen incorporated the building into the hillside, as seen in the second sketch. The openness of the house is a representation of the importance of the site. Eileen considered the site as a major factor of her design. <br />

During the 1930s, and especially after the second world war, there was an interest in efficient dwelling spaces among architects that could calm the extreme housing shortage in Europe. There was a massive re-thinking of the concept of the home, and an attempt to distill one's living space down to a comfortable minimum. Eileen Gray was not excluded from this debate. Many modernist dwellings were designed with their utilities compacted to one side of the dwelling, and with large rooms, composing the rest of the space, that could adapt to a great number of uses. Here are a few examples that were to precede and follow E-1027, which have a lot of the same uses of space.<br />
<br />
In all photos, the areas <span style="background-color: red;">highlighted in red</span><span style="background-color: white;"> represent the service areas such as kitchen, bathrooms, etc.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The areas </span><span style="background-color: #6fa8dc;">highlighted in blue</span><span style="background-color: white;"> represent the large multifunctional spaces. Areas </span><span style="background-color: #b6d7a8;">highlighted in green </span><span style="background-color: white;"> represent another common element, which are outdoor terraces.</span><br />

Admittedly, the ocean liners of the time did an amazing job of making such a heavy object look weightless. Their sleek and clean interiors managed to provide a very comfortable and efficient living environment, and were like self contained cities floating on the sea. When designing a house that would look out on to the sea, Eileen Gray looked to nautical forms for some inspiration. She made explicit references such as the huge mural of a nautical map in the main living space and the life preserver hanging from the balcony. She also made implicit references such as the use of a sail-cloth type material for a removable awning on the main terrace (the awning in and of itself could be considered a reference), and the design of her transat (trans atlantic) chair is clearly inspired by cruise ship deck chairs. After the break, a collection of images that draw some connections between E-1027 and it's nautical counterparts.<br />

Her earlier work was aften opulent, designed for wealthy clients, and exhibits a style influenced by the art nouveau movement that was so popular in Paris at the time. The furniture in E-1027, on the other hand, while it may be luxurious in it's elegance, is breath breathtakingly modern. A lot of the furniture is designed with tubular steel coated with chrome, much like Marcel Breuer or Mart Stam were doing at the same time. What made Gray's furniture designs for E-1027 so special is what she called "le style camping". More after the break!<br />

Gray designed the furniture in the spaces of E-1027 to be lightweight, portable, and highly interactive. That is to say, many pieces of furniture could be transformed to suit a wide range of activities. For example, a table could become a desk, a dining surface, or a coffee table depending on the needs of the user, and could be manipulated quite easily by a few gestures. </div>

In this sense, the furniture was not designed to remain in one place. It was designed with the intent that it could be moved around, adjusted, and used not just for one specific purpose. This idea is part of a greater theme evident in the design of E-1027, one which we will explore in more detail where rooms can be transformed and adjusted depending on the mood, the weather, and the company. Even where the furniture is more fixed, such as in the bedrooms and in the bathrooms, the furniture maintains it's interactivity. The mirrors in the bathrooms have telescopic arms and whole sections on hinges, allowing the user to adjust the mirror to his or her needs. The headboards of the beds contain tables which can be pulled out, storage for books and cushions, a space to heat a hot water bottle, and a lamp, again begging the presence of a user to operate it's many functions. By realizing that the experience and needs of the users of her furniture may vary over a period of time, she anticipated many of the possible ways in which her furniture could adapt to the many situations they find themselves in. Now the imagery of the mechanical ballet seems to be a bit more applicable.</div>

<br />
<br />
We're starting to chip away at a greater theme running throughout the design of E-1027. Eileen Gray wanted to create a very comfortable experience for the guests and owners of the home, and she did so by making things highly adaptable and interactive. The way she and Jean Badovici designed the windows, shutters and awnings of E-1027 to take advantage of the sun and wind are a vital part of this equation. More after the break.<br />
<br />
As Corbu's drawing of the sun tells us, sometimes the sun is our friend, but other times the sun is our enemy. Instead of designing a single solution that lands somewhere in between these two sides of the dichotomy, Badovici and Gray created a dynamic series of windows and shutters that could be manipulated according to the weather.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The windows in the bedrooms and on the main terrace are constructed like the image above. The windows fold onto themselves like an accordion, and are able to be pushed to one side in order to open up an entire vista and to let air and light in freely. This is done by suspending the windows on the top end from a steel channel, the connection being wheels that slide along the channel, allowing the windows to be pushed aside with relative ease. The bottom sides are fit into a notch that keeps the whole assembly aligned. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The second part of this assembly is the shutters that slide in front of the window and open up like an awning. In Architecture Vivante, Eileen Gray said "A problem we focused on, one that is often neglected, but none the less important, is that of the window shutters. A window without shutters is like an eye without eyelids. Over and over, attempts to solve this problem are met with the same result: insufficient ventilation when the shutters are closed. Our solution to this problem lets a generous amount of air ventilate the space while blocking the harsh sunlight."</div>

<br />
In this image we can see more clearly the railing system that the shutters slide along. You can see the large space between the window opening and the rails, which would allow for the ventilation that Eileen talks about. The way the shutters open (image to the left) would undoubtedly block the sun while letting in air as well.<br />
<br />
Another method that the duo used to block out the sun is the large removable awning on the main terrace. When the sun calms down in the winter season (the lowest average temperature is 12 degrees celcius in February!), the awning can be taken down to let the sun penetrate deep into the home. Again the house begs for a human participant to manipulate it's many facets. The house becomes another limb of the human anatomy, an extension of the body. "A house is not a machine to live in. It is the shell of man, his extension, his release, his spiritual emanation. Not only its visual harmony but its entire organization, all the terms of the work, combine to render it human in the most profound sense"<br />

In many cases Eileen Gray designed the furniture so that it can be moved around a room. Other times she integrates the furniture into walls or makes them walls. If, however, the furniture is removed, then there is not much left of the room. The rooms seem empty and have no special shape or form. Without the furniture there isn't anything special about the rooms. To demonstrate the difference between a room in E 1027 with and without furniture, I made a couple of sketches of rooms void of anything but walls. These sketches are then compared to the same room with furniture.<br />

During the same period as E1027 there were many rooms designed in which furniture played a major roll in creating the space. One example would be Tamara de Lempicka designed by Robert Mallet-Stevens. The rooms seem shapeless and empty when the furniture is removed. The same can be said about Maison de Verre design by Pierre Chareau. The following sketches show some rooms from Tamara de Lempicka and Maison de Verre without furniture. All rooms, be it from Mallet-Stevens, Chareau, or Gray, look strikingly similar when void of furniture. <br />

Rather than manifest a particular structural ideology, reinforced concrete construction enabled Gray to qualify spatial differences through structural means. The private spaces are divided by the most thick walls, leaving everything else very open. <br />

She
used the challenge of designing E. 1027 as an opportunity to indulge in the latest inventions in hinges, window frames, shutters
and other mechanical devices. However, Eileen felt disappointed by its lack of humanism. "Modern designers have
exaggerated the technological side," she wrote in 1929. "Intimacy is
gone, atmosphere is gone... Formulas are nothing; life is everything.
And life is mind and heart at the same time." By applying these
principles to her architecture, Eileen designed houses that were less like a machine and more of an extension of a persons movement throughout the house. Her houses
were inspiring spaces inside and outside and so meticulously
planned that they often appeared to anticipate their occupants needs
and desires. With
E. 1027 she experimented with the latest folding and sliding systems to
conceal storage spaces in walls and ceilings by treating the floors and
walls of the terraces identically to the interior, she blurred the
distinction between inside and outside.

She mapped out specific routes that guests, inhabitants, and servants could take, where they would stop, and where they would gather. The drawing also includes the path of the sun and at which times the sun will shine into which rooms. This was also one of the key factors for the design of E 1027, since Eileen understood the importance of design that incorporated the climate of the area. <br />
I tried to separate the information found in Eileens drawing into a more coherent format. This allowed for a better understanding of E 1027 and Eileens design process. <br />
<br />
This is how the drawing was originally constructed:<br />

The red lines are the paths that the inhabitants and guests take, and the blue broken lines are the paths of the servants. It is important to note that Eileen wanted the servants to interact with the guest and inhabitants space as little as possible, as can be seen in the relatively few paths she dedicated to them. The circles indicate areas in which people will congregate and the triangles shows where people will stop to perform a certain activity.<br />
I decided to break the drawing down into areas and only show the related paths to these areas. <br />

In 2008 it's restoration had begun. It is still currently undergoing it's restoration, but photos have been published of the current state of the villa.

There have been several different rumors about the reason for the restoration, one of which is that the funds were only allocated due to the paintings of Le Corbusier and the interesting story behind them. Even though Le Corbusier's paintings remain, the new wall color choice was inspired by some of the early diagram drawings that Eileen had done. <br />

<br /></div>
Tonight I stumbled across an article, published in the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, Vol.53, No.3, Published in 1994 by the University of California Press. In it, the author, Caroline Constant provides her interpretation of E.1027.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's the link, which can be accessed through your online library account:</div>
<div>
<a href="http://www.jstor.org.proxy.lib.uwaterloo.ca/stable/990937?seq=6">http://www.jstor.org.proxy.lib.uwaterloo.ca/stable/990937?seq=6</a>

It seems that Eileen was at odds with a lot of manifestos that were being published at the time, which reduced homes to "machines for living". She argued, "The poverty of modern architecture stems from the atrophy of sensuality. Everything is dominated by reason in order to create amazement without proper research. We must mistrust pictorial elements if they are not assimilated by instinct. It is not a matter of simply constructing beautiful ensembles of lines, but above all, dwellings for people." There is much speculation over how much Badovici was actually involved in the design and construction process, but Constant argues that the design was in fact a partnership between Badovici and Gray. Badovici provided guidance and technical expertise to Eileen during design and construction, while Gray focused on the more human aspects of the design.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As the above quote may suggest, Gray tirelessly imagined how users would inhabit the space she was designing. She meticulously implemented a number of design features that would improve the experience of the user. For example, since she also designed all the furniture for the house, the headboards for all the beds incorporate a hot water heater, an alarm clock, and spaces for books. Each room has it's own private terrace, equipped with a pool of sand (water attracts mosquitoes) to cool or warm one's feet. The mailbox is visible through a small window in the master bedroom, so Badovici could see if the post man had visited yet or not. The list goes on. Entry and threshold were also important to Gray. One diagram in particular maps out all the possible ways in which a visitor could enter and move through the house, and the relation of these movements to the path of the sun. (See below.)</div>

The article analyses a number of other aspects of Gray's design, and is well worth the read. Check it out!</div>

These quotes have helped us better understand Eileen and her reasoning behind E.1027. Hopefully they will help you as well. <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>“A homogeneous whole built for man, to human scale, and balanced
in all its parts.”</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>“Fascination with opacity and indecipherability let to her focus
on the surface of elements, their color, texture, and reflective
qualities.”</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Windows address body and panorama simultaneously.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>“Special differences through structural means.”</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>“Choice of materials to express degrees of bodily contact.”</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>“Inspired by material forms, their embodiment of service to the
human body.”</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>“Incorporating mobility at the scale of the occupant rather than
the room. Gray rendered the subject an active agent in her
environment, forcefully shaping the space to receive her, more a
participant than a mere occupant.”
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>“Devised a plan diagram depicting internal circulation routes in
relationship to the suns daily path.”</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>“She engaged all of the senses to entrance the occupant’s
consciousness of bodily immersion in a sequence of experiences.”</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>“Intertwining the visible with what is out of sight.”</li>
</ul>
<br />
