Context

Pessac is workers’ housing, another row. Later Nazi occupation damage and 1960s restoration are not 1931. UNESCO is later and is not the act.

Why it matters

A completed Five Points villa is an education path of real size. High confidence on the building. Later World Heritage is reception, not 1931.

What the sources establish

Villa Savoye, designed 1928–31 at Poissy, stands on pilots with a ramp, roof garden, and ribbon windows — the Five Points as a house.

Villa Savoye’s CMN official site independently presents the house. Fondation archive pages independently document the 1928– Poissy project. Britannica independently treats Savoye as the canonical villa. MoMA independently uses it as a modern-movement icon. No unique 1931 leak-count is invented.

Established: 1928–31 Villa Savoye as his. Not established: a unique visitor series of 1931. Conventional 1931 completion. Not 2016 listing.

Shared responsibility is part of Villa Savoye at Poissy is completed as a Five Points house on the grass, a weekend villa that later became a public monument. Naming Le Corbusier does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1931-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.
