Thus, in Villa Savoye, Le Corbusier appears to respond directly to automotive transportation and indirectly to marine transportation, which would become the next popular mode of escape for the bourgeois, with the servant-staffed, personal yacht serving as the oceanic equivalent of the automobile and chauffeur.
Villa Savoye reflects the specified needs of the client, the architect's ideals, and the impact of advancing machinery in the industrial age during the early 20th century.

 Metropolis Insites: Retooling the Machine
