House of the Day: Villa Drusch by Claude Parent

Villa Drusch, Claude Parent, The Modern House

French architect Claude Parent designed Villa Drusch in Versailles in 1963 for prominent industrialist Gaston Drusch.

The dramatic form of the concrete stucture embodies Parent’s theory of ‘Oblique Architecture’, which he developed in the 1960s alongside philosopher Paul Virilio, and explores the concept of the fluid form using ramps, curves and geometric patterns.
