Dom-Ino System Explanation

The architectonical education of Le Corbusier came from experience garnered in the offices of Auguste Perret (1908-1909) and Peter Behrens.

Perret, as the Greeks did translating the wood construction rules to stone, translated the rules to reinforced concrete, in this times he was the one with widest knowledge of how to use it. From Perret he acquired a firm understanding of reinforced concrete, and from Behrens he learned about designing for industry. He combined these two strains in the Dom-Ino system (1914), made in response to the outbreak of World War I.

Anticipating that destruction caused by the fighting would increase the demand for rebuilding when hostilities ended, Le Corbusier proposed a mass-produced housing scheme that reduced components to a minimum: floor slabs, regularity spaced piers for vertical support, and stairs to connect the floors, Inherent in the design was the possibility of factory fabrication of these parts near the construction site and rapid erection of the frame by crane.

The subdivision of the interior and precise weatherproof enclosure of the exterior would be left to the discretion of the builders so that local preferences could be observed.
