FIRST CHAPTER
VILLA SAVOYE
2
What‛s going on ?!
AAA AAA !
OMG! Is it a portal ?
Where are we? I remember the
last time I saw a green light, then
I think we were teleported.
AAAAA!
It seems we are in a forest,
look, there is a building!
Wait, Archie! This building looks so
familiar to me... I think I know this...
OMG! Archie, this building is...
Yes Jane! This is Villa Savoye !
3
One of the most famous buildings of modern architecture! Look
how it is harmonised with nature. I can‛t believe we will visit this
building! I remember that the building was designed by Le
Corbusier in 1929.
He used mainly reinforced concrete in his buildings, as you know,
new materials were introduced to the architecture in the modern
era, 20th century. Of course, we can not forget glass!
It was very important to bring transparency
and light to the modern interiors!
Oh, look at the facade.
White, purified from
unnecessary
ornamentations!
Speaking of the 20th century,
what date are we in?
What does it matter, Jane? We are in France! We
are next to Villa Savoye! Do you remember the five
points of modern architecture by Corbusier?
4
Look, the first one! The building is
raised from the ground with the
help of pilotis, it means reinforced
concrete columns.
It allows modern buildings to
become free from the ground and
also take the nature underneath.
And the second point, horizontal,
elongated windows...
Look how these horizontal windows frame the nature,
like a painting. They are also providing even lighting
for different interior spaces. As you know, light is
very important for the modern spaces...
I know you are very excited,
Archie, but I think we should
go inside and find the next portal.
The third point Le Corbusier mentiones is free facade.
Look, all facades have different features here! Free facade
are realized when there are no load-bearing walls and pilotis
allows it!
Oh, Archie! We can really sense fluidity here with
the ramps and circular staircases! Look how much
light the interior takes! Also, there is minimal use
of furniture without unnecessary objects. Use
of white plaster... Such a modern interior...
Look at the curvilinear shape of the entrance!
The perpendicular walls are combined with such
organic forms in modern architecture thanks to
reinforced concrete. Very fluid, very modern...
5
C‛mon Jane! We
should check
these spaces
one by one!
Look at the plans of the house, Jane! There are very
few walls, without any load bearing one. The spaces
are very open, fluid. This idea of free plan is, as you
can remember, the fourth point of Le Corbusier.
Yes, Archie. But first,
we should dance and
enjoy this moment!
5 MINUTES LATER...

2
Archie, there is a men‛s hat
on the table.
And there is food on the
counter! I think we are not
alone in the house!
I think it is empty, Jane. Look around, there is no any
sound. We should use the ramp and see the roof garden,
which is the last point of Le Corbusier. I think the
garden is great, let‛s go to the upper floor!
You are still talking about modern architecture, lol.
Okey, Archie, let‛s see the roof. But don‛t forget,
we should also find the next portal. It should be
somewhere in the house.
1- Beatriz Colomina, ‘The Split Wall: Domestic Voyeurism‛ (1992), p. 99
2- Beatriz Colomina, ‘The Split Wall: Domestic Voyeurism‛ (1992), p. 101
6
Oh! Just like in the photos... I think we should...
Wait, Archie! There is a woman
here! We should hide, c‛mon!
Apart from the woman, there are old
cameras, I think we went back in time!
Let‛s get close to the roof, there should
be something going on...
3
Hey, kids! What are you doing there?
Archie, after the lady goes, we should
focus on finding the portal before
someone sees us and...
Hi, did you come for the
promotional shoots of the
building?
WHAT !?
3- Beatriz Colomina, ‘The Split Wall: Domestic Voyeurism‛ (1992), p. 103
7
The year? We are in 1935, kid. Did you drink too much?
We are taking some photographs of Villa Savoye to
promote modern architecture‛s modern interiors. I can
give you a tour if you want.
What.. Yes, yes definitely. Could you explain
the shoots in a more detailed way? And also
the year we are in, please?
It would be great... but we
don‛t want to... disturb you.
So, the woman walking is also a model,
right? Where are the shoots exactly?
Yes, she is. The shoots are being held in the
roof garden right now.
And these are some photographs from previous
promotions. The new devices of the new technology,
ha. Great! As you know, media is really important for
modern architecture to be known by the world.
Mister, why the woman is always inside in these photographs? The men are always enjoying the fresh
air, light, nice view but the woman is kept in the house? I think it is not a right attitude to promote
modern life style.

4,5- Beatriz Colomina, ‘The Split Wall: Domestic Voyeurism‛ (1992), p. 105
8
Ah, young lady. What better job could a modern
woman have than taking care of modern interiors
and raising her children?
Modern women should experience the modern
life as they want instead of following the norms
determined by the society. Oh, I think you have
so much to learn about.
You are a lady with very interesting ideas, but I think you should mention
your ideas to Corbusier, if you see him. Because he is the one who directs
how the photographs should be taken and positions the models. I am going
downstairs to have some food, see you then!
Well, I should we continue
our journey with the roof
garden, Jane.
You are right, Jane. We always see how the interiors
are pure, free, merged with nature, and filled with
light and modern furniture. But there are also social
aspects of the modern era, whatever. Let‛s go to the
roof and find the portal.
Archie, don‛t you hear the guy? How can Le Corbusier be
such a person who acts according to certain stereotypes
about genders? You all talk about how the building is a
masterpiece but as you can see, modern architecture is a
coin with two different faces, and apperantly we don‛t see
the negative face in our history classes...
9
Oh, finally... The roof is accompanied with many horizontal
windows to frame the nature, and ramps also exist here. The
whole building is like a promenade according to Le Corbusier.
As you know, movement and dynamism are important keywords
for modern architecture.
Whatever, let‛s go out, maybe the portal is waiting for us here.
The spaces in the house is really fluid though. It has been a
fun adventure until now. How crazy is that we are in 1930‛s
in Villa Savoye...
Archie, look! There is another
woman on the roof.
She is one of the
models, I guess.
It can be a coincidence, right?
Jane, why does she wear exactly
the same clothes as us!?
No, Archie, it can‛t! These are our
uniforms... But I am sure I have never
seen this girl before! Let‛s meet her,
and ask about it if we have a chance.
10
Hi! We are Jane and Archie.
You must be one of the models
of today‛s promotion, right?
Hello! I am Teresa, and you are right. I'm here to
take some pictures of me in the building. What a
great opportunity, ha? It is a great building and I
will be playing a role in the promotion of this modern
spaces to the society.
Wait, what do you mean?
I think Jane wants to say that in your era, there are some
stereotypes related with the role of genders in society
which restrict the liberation of people, especially women.
We still have this problem in our time, though.
Why are you talking like you're from another era?
Oh, about that, have you ever seen
the previous photographs where
the women are kept inside the
house? What a wrong attitude...
He is... a little sleepy, so never mind,
but don‛t you really think women should
have a much more active role in the
changing modern life?
You are right, actually.
11
It‛s a great idea, right?
Yes, but...
For example, you should be outside in
the photographs and enjoy this roof
garden, as a symbol of modern spaces.
They say I will
be inside in
the photos...
and dealing with the house works. It's a great
house and I'll be taken inside it. Isn‛t it also
nice?
Yes, but you should also be seen in the roof, taking fresh air,
reading a magazine, and just enjoy your life. Trust me, modern
life will bring many opportunities for you, and you should show
society that women also deserve them all. So, I think you should
talk to Corbusier and persuade him.
Yes, I will talk to Corbusier!
I think he will make some
changes.
It made me happy to see
open-minded people like you,
friends.
Thank you so much for the conversation. Are you here
until the end of the shoots? I would like to have a drink
with you later.
Before that, I want to ask about your clothes...
12
...because...
Archie, I think I find the portal!
We are wearing the same clothes, I think it
is Corbusier‛s choice for the shootings.
But we are not here for the...
Archie, I think we do
not have time for that!
What is going on? I don‛t...
We really like you, Teresa,
but we need to go.
Well, okay... Take care of yourselves,
my friends. I will try my best.
Don‛t forget what we have talked,
it was a pleasure to meet you...
13
What a journey, ha? Run, Archie!
We are almost there! I want to go to home, c‛mon!
?!?!?!
JANE, WAIT!
???
What are you doing, Archie?! We
need to pass through the portal.
Jane,wait. Don‛t you see this
man? I think he is...
14
He is Le Corbusier! I can‛t
believe it! Let‛s meet him, Jane!
No, Archie, we can‛t! We need to pass
through the portal because it disappears!
Also, interacting with an architect can result
in severe problems in the time line, Archie!
Well, okay...
Archie, I will count to
three, and we will head
to the portal.
But... Jane...It‛s Le Corbusier... just...
Three! Run,Archie!
Behave yourself,
Archie! We need to
go back to home!
15
AAAAA!
Wait, what?!
Don‛t forget to design
Unité d'Habitation!
SEE YOU, CORBU!
?!?!?!
Anyway, I thought I heard
something... I should go back
to my work.
I better write that
name somewhere...
...Unité d'Habitation...

SECOND CHAPTER
SCHRÖDER HOUSE
17
AAAAAA !
AAA AAA !
Let me look around and find
some information.
Wait, this is not our home, now
where are we? Oh, this adventure
looks longer than I thought.
10 MINUTES LATER...
Well, the map says we are in
Utrecht. From Paris to the
Netherlands, ha? Let‛s walk then.
Look, Jane! There is a girl crying there. I know
we should minimize our contact with people, but
I think we need to ask her what is wrong.
Okay, Archie. Let‛s go and ask her. Maybe she
can also help us finding the next portal,ha?
18
6
Wait, don‛t cry...please... We
can really help you, honey.
In the school, one of
the boys said I am
living in that ‘loony
house‛...
Hi, honey. Why are you crying,
is there anything we can help?
What does it mean, honey? Why
would they call where you live? The
houses in that neighbourhood seem
so similar to each other.
Ours is not, the
Schröder House...
Wait, what? Are you the daughter of Truss Schröder,
and you live there? The brilliant house, the house far
ahead of its time... One of the most innovative buildings
of modern architecture... Can we go there?
Yes, I am daughter of Truss Schröder,
and you like my house, ha? Of course
we can go to my house.
Oh, my sweet house...
In the other houses, the use of brick is
really extensive in the neighborhood, but
my home looks very different from its
exterior, my mom says new materials were
used in our house.
My mom and the architect Rietveld
designed it together, do you know, we
have even movable walls. Really cool, ha?
6-Alice T. Friedman, ‘Women and the Making of the Modern House‛ (2000), p. 79
19
Oh, where are you Haneke?
And this is my home! I think
it‛s beautiful, why can‛t other
people see that?
Do you know Schröder House, Archie? It is one of most
successful buildings of the modern era for me. Look at
the exterior, we have some planes, cantilever parts, and
extensive use of glass. Very playful, free facade...
HEY, MOM!
HANEKE ?
Where have you been? I have
been worried so much about you.
Sorry mom, I didn't realize how far I was from home,
but these nice people helped me to find my way!
20
Thank you so much.
I did not expect such a celebration,
thank you so much, again. I would
be very glad if you and your friend
come inside. I cooked delicious
cookies.
You are welcome, Mrs. Schröder. By the way,
I love your house. I think it is just great, and
you are a very brave woman to take part in
designing such a different house compared to
the buildings of its own era.
I am very happy to hear that. Of course we
come to your house. I really want to see the
playful interior. I hear that you have extensive
use of colors and many contemporary furniture.
Just wonderful...
What do you like so much
about this house, Jane?
Truss Schröder is a widow, Archie. After
her husband died, she wanted to change the
design of her house so that she can raise
her children in a modern environment that
she looks after. She is interested in art,
literature, and architecture. She is one of
the pioneers to create more flexible spaces
that modern people need. She is a very
visionary woman!
Hey, kids. Come and see also
the interior, I can‛t find such
excited visitors often...
C‛mon Jane, let‛s go inside. I get really
curious about these movable walls, use
of colors, and furniture. By the way, do
you know which year are we in?
I think the end of the
1920‛s, Archie. Whatever,
look at the facade!
21
As you said in Villa Savoye, this
building has also no unnecessary
ornamentations, but still we can
sense the playful space organization.
Even the facade gives clues about
the interior. Look how different
planes and lines come together.
Rietveld, the architect, was in a successful
coorperation with his client, Mrs. Schröder.
It is not a very common relationship, you know.
The value of this building is coming from this
collaboration of two such visionary people.
Okay, Jane. Please let‛s go
inside now. I really wonder
how it looks like...
I will be in the studio,
kids. If you need
anything, let me know.
Have fun!
Look at the colors, and although the use of
furniture is minimal, they enrich the spaces.
They are the design of the architect, Rietveld.
22
I get very excited, Jane! The
interior is really fun. Colors,
furniture, the intake of light.
You can sense the dynamism.
Wow, even more beautiful
than it looks in the photos...
Let‛s go upstairs, the
movable walls wait for us!
Look, Archie! Very open spaces,
the sliding panel walls are arranged
according to the different needs
of Schröder family. The changing
spaces with the changing modern
life. How functional and dynamic!
It looks really stunning!
She is a mom who cares a lot the education of her children, so she and Rietveld
designed this floor with these movable walls so that the family can have different
interactions here. Sometimes, they are in their bedrooms, but sometimes the rooms
are becoming one large gathering space. And look at the chairs, they are very
modern with their colors and proportions.
23
With all of these planes,
lines, and colors, the
building is like a three
dimensional version of
Mondrian paintings.
There is probably
so much inspiration.
The ground floor includes common,
large areas like a library, a workroom,
and a kitchen. These are seperated
with traditional walls.
And first floor includes
the bedrooms and a large
living and dining area,
they are all flexible due
to the movable walls...
Look how the interiors take sunlight, there is
a glass opening on the roof. Ah, I feel that we
are now looking to a dynamic drawing...
10 SECONDS LATER...
Wait, what?!
???
Look at the back, Jane! After you said we are like in a
drawing, the building actually starts to turn into a drawing!
We should find the portal and leave the place!
24
FASTER !!
Oh, I see it! It is in the Mrs. Schröder‛s
bedroom, we have to go there before
becoming a cartoon character! Run, Jane!
We are so close to the portal,
Archie! Let‛s go to home!!!
How can it be possible? There are many planes,
we need to jump over them to reach the portal.
The house is really becoming a drawing!
AAAAAA !
25
LAST CHAPTER
PRUITT-IGOE
26
AAA AAA !
Ah, again not home. I hope this
will be our last destination. I want
to go to home!
This time, I really don‛t
know where we are.
Hey Archie! The boards says
we are in Pruitt Homes. Does
this mean anything to you?
There are many high-rise buildings
and I can‛t recognize them. Oh, I
should have listened my history
classes more carefully... Anyway,
let‛s take a walk.
Not really... I think we should
find someone and ask them.
27
Look, Archie! There are people
playing football. Let‛s ask them
where we are.
Jane, look! Like Teresa, this boy is
wearing our uniform. Things are
starting to get even stranger.
Hi! It will be a weird question but, can you
say where is this place, exactly? And also...
what year are we in now?
Archie, I know it sounds crazy but, could this
time portal and our school have something to
do with it?
Hello, friends! You are in Pruitt-Igoe, and
the year is definitely 1972.
I don‛t know, Jane. Could there be other time
travelers?! I think we should learn something
from the guy, but first we need to ask where
and when we are...
Pruitt-Igoe, ha, now it sounds familiar
to me. Can you give more information?
Well, this is one of the most known social
housing projects of the last decades. The
project was designed by the architect
Minoru Yamasaki at the request of U.S
goverment, and the main aim was providing
housing for the poor section of the society.
28
Well! Now I remember the project!
The social housing project of the
modern era where the white and black
community was planned to live together.
The construction was finished
between 1951 and 1955, people
here say that there were many
changes in sociopolitical
situation in St. Louise, where
the project is located.
You are right, but as you can see,
there aren't many white people left
living here. Even the number of black
community decreased significantly
among the years.
Well! Why is the vacancy rate is so
high right now? I remember that the
buildings have many architectural
problems.
Yes, the buildings lack open and social areas, we do not have even
gym or playground for children. Although the size of the project is
really large, there are almost no landscape elements. The long and
dark corridors of the floors make the buildings possible places of
crime and vandalism. Unfortunately, during the years, the rate of
crime and vandalism increased. The buildings also lack the quality of
materials, generally they are very cheap and damaged, there are
even some exposed pipes in the corridors and they are really
dangerous. The plan of the houses are problematic, in my home, we
have only one bathroom although we live six friends there. Overall, I
can say these 11-story high-rise buildings with many problems have
played role in the increasing vacancy rate.
29
Yes! People, in these days, blame only the architect and modern
architecture. However, the main problem starts with the
economical problems. In the first place, Yamasaki designed these
high-rise buildings as apartments and houses with gardens. He
imagined many nice interior galleries filled with light, but the
government forced him to provide as maximum housing as possible
within a minimum budget. He then had to make the buildings much
taller without any landscape or amenities for the residents. And
the second crucial issue, is racial segregation.
It is sad, but what about the social and
economic aspects? I think they should
definitely not be ignored.
The planners imagined that the black and white community
would live here together when the black segregation was very
strong, especially still it is a problem, you know. Also, as my
neighbours said, in the 1950‛s white community with higher
income level started to move out and go to suburbian areas.
Then, their houses left empty as the black people did not
have money to buy them. As the number of people living here
decreased, the services could not be supplied, because the
housing authority was providing the maintanance of the
project only by the rents taken from the residents. Then,
physical conditions have gotten worse and worse, and crime
and vandalism increased significantly.
?!?!?!
Definitely! Even the purpose of creating a
mixed class of white and black community in
such a period is very heavy burden for modern
architecture to handle, but people don‛t
understand this. Today, unfortunately three of
the buildings will be exploded. You can stay if
you want to watch ‘the failure of modern
architecture‛, as the media and society say.
We are really sorry... but what
about your uniform, we also have it!
You know a lot about Pruitt-Igoe, well. So we
can say although there are some architectural
problems, economic and sociopolitical aspects of
1950‛s in St. Louise have a much more dominant
and adverse effect on the unfortunate destiny
of Pruitt Igoe.
Uniform? It is just a regular
cloth for me, and I don‛t
remember where I got it
actually. Why did you ask?
30
I am... just a little taken aback because
of the demolition. Thanks for your
answers, see you later.
They actually sacrifice modern architecture and
its buildings instead of having a comprehensive
understanding of existing social and economic
structure of the society. What a shame!
See you my friends...
Yes! We learn through our journey that modern
architecture is not flawless as we see in the history
books, but it has also no power by itself to solve all
of the social problems, and people need to realize it...
Are you okay, Archie?
Where are you going, Jane?
We need to continue, Archie.
Nothing came out of this
uniform thing but there's still
a portal to find.
I did not remember from the history
courses that the buildings of Pruitt-
Igoe would end up with being
exploded, look Jane...
These buildings were once home to many people, but now
they will be destroyed...Well, I see a poster there, let‛s go.
31
Look at the first image of Pruitt-Igoe. We can see
how the architect was forced to increase the floors
of the buildings. Everything could have been different.
Look, Archie! There is a crowd,
I think they are gathered to watch
the explosion. It should be very
soon. Let‛s go there.
Jane, we should do something! These
buildings can be still saved and be
home for many people!
We can‛t do anything, Archie! Haven‛t you watched
the Avengers?! We can not change the history, it is
too risky, we just have to sit and watch.
10 SECONDS LATER...
I‛m also very unhappy, Archie.
But the only thing we can do is
watching the explosion and then
find the portal.
Wait, no way...
32
Archie, look above... Can you also
see what I see?..
Jane... I see and...
IT IS THE TIME PORTAL!!!
OMG, Jane! We should enter the building
before the explosion starts.
When will it start, Archie?
They said the explosion would start at twelve. We
still have some time. I think we can manage it.
33
RUN, ARCHIE, RUN!!!
Okay, Archie, let‛s go and find the
portal. It is the only way for home.
I don‛t want to stuck in 1970‛s. I
want to go back 21th century...
We'll come back home together,
Jane. I promise...
34
7
The physical conditions of the building
is really problematic. There are exposed
steam pipes everywhere, very risky!
These elevators are broken,
we should find one working
properly.
Focus Archie, we need
to find the portal.
Oh, the elevators are so undersized!
We're lucky if we both can fit...
I think, we need to
reach 6th floor.
Look, Archie! This elevator
seems to be working. Let‛s
get on it.
30 SECONDS LATER...
8
Wait! It did stop at 4th floor, not
6th one. Is it also broken ?!
I remembered, Jane!
These are skin-stop
elevators!!!
Because of the economic restrictions, the
architect Yamasaki had to use skip-stop
elevators in Pruitt-Igoe and they stop only
at certain floors! Now, I start to remember
the history classes... Failure of modern
architecture, ha...
7,8- Mary M. Comerio, ‘Pruitt Igoe and Other Stories‛ (1981), p. 26, para. 4
35
Are you sure the stairs are on that side?
I CAN‛T BELIEVE IT! THEN WE
NEED TO USE STAIRCASES, C‛MON
ARCHIE, LET‛S GET OFF IT!
No! But I will find them. Pruitt-Igoe may be
known as the death of modern architecture,
but it won‛t be my death!
This way, Archie! We can manage it!
1 MINUTE LATER...
Yes, architectural problems are one of the
reasons of this explosion, but we can not
disregard the socipolitical and economic aspects
of this society. Whatever, how much time do we
have left?
Let me look.
All of the spaces are very similar here, very
closed, dark, and damaged. The architectural
problems are undeniable, unfortunately, and they
make our job much more difficult!
36
We still have 5 minutes.
Okay, run Archie! I think
the portal is over there!
9
Wait, what... It is impossible...
I feel like we are wandering through a maze of corridors,
no wonder crime and vandalism rates increased in such an
environment. I think we need to get seperated and search
for the portal. It should be in this floor, the one who finds
it informs the other.
3 MINUTES LATER...
OMG! They cut off the lights!
Probably the explosion is about
to start...I can barely see.
HEY, JANE! CAN YOU HEAR
ME? WHERE ARE YOU?!
9- Mary M. Comerio, ‘Pruitt Igoe and Other Stories‛ (1981), p. 26, para. 4
37
Hey Archie, I‛m right behind you!
Come to my voice. I think I find
the portal for this time!
Yessss, I can see it, the
green light... Run, Archie!
You can see it too, right? We must
enter the corridor on the right.
Come on, we don't
have much time left!
Yes, Jane. I think
we can make it!
FASTER, ARCHIE!!!
I‛M TRYING!!!
38
We are so close to go back to
home, Archie! TOGETHER!
Ahh! The building is started to
shake, I think the destruction
began but we are so clo...
AAA AAA !
39
Oh,no! My foot is stuck in something.
What? Is there a
problem, Archie! We
are so close to the
portal!
I can‛t make it, Jane! My

AAA AAA !
I am not in home, but where
am I then? And also when?..
WAIT, WHAT?!
How can it be possible... The
buildings just look like the
structures in the futuristic
drawings of Antonio Sant'Elia!
Am I even in a real world or...
HEY, YOU !
???
Welcome to the
future, new kid.
Wait, which manifesto? Where are
you?! What is happening right now, I
can‛t understand! Will the future look
like this?.. I have so much questions...
Now, I am teleporting to the
ceremony, don‛t be late for
the manifesto!
If Archie was here, he would know
what to do. Archie, please come
back, please survive the
destruction. I need you...
C‛mon Archie, please
come back before the
portal gets closed...
