A house is a machine for living in.
Meaning of the quote
A house is like a machine that helps people live comfortably. Just like a machine, a house is designed to serve a specific purpose - to provide shelter, warmth, and a place to rest. The architect, Le Corbusier, believed that a house should be practical and functional, like a machine, to meet the basic needs of the people living in it.
