Virtual Reality
Archi VR is a series of interactive documentaries in Virtual Reality presenting the great architects of the 20th and 21st centuries. This experience immerses the user in the heart of architectural monuments in a virtual tour that addresses the history, constraints, geographical bias and technological innovations of the great names in architecture. Dedicated to Le Corbusier and the famous Villa Savoye, the first episode of this series was supported by the Centre National du Cinéma.
Novelab was in charge of the development of the experience, the 3D modeling, the graphics, the sound design, the sequencing and the animation.
SYNOPSIS
April 1930: Émilie Savoye, driving her own car, leaves the capital to go to her newly built country house. As she approaches Poissy, she recalls the two years that have passed since her meeting with architect Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, who was so sure of himself. Interspersed with memories of Madame Savoye, the correspondence she exchanged with her architect and the writings of one of the greatest architectural theorists of the 20th century, this virtual reality experience takes us back into the history of the creation of Villa Savoye, one of the most famous buildings by the architect who would later be known as Le Corbusier.
THE EXPERIENCE
The user is immersed in the skin of Madame Savoye who enters the property at the wheel of her car and parks. He observes the villa, which disappears.
He then finds himself in the place of the architect who is looking for the ideal location to build the villa, while taking into account the wishes of the future owners. He then follows the main stages of construction of the villa: the pilings, the roof, the facade, the windows and then can explore the model and the house at his leisure.
