Published abstrac t:  "It is now fifty years since Colin Rowe's celebrated essay first revealed what Le Corbusier had concealed about the mathematics of the neo-Palladian structural grid of Villa de Monzie/Stein at Garches (1927)—namely, the ratios of the structural intervals that define the organization of the villa from front to back. The importance of this discovery, reported in Rowe's "The Mathematics of the Ideal Villa: Palladio and Le Corbusier compared" (1947), has been underappreciated in subsequent scholarship, which has focused instead on Rowe's discovery of the accord between Garches and Palladio's Villa Malcontenta (c. 1550-1560) with respect to the so-called ABABA rhythm of the intervals from side to side. However, the north-south intervals are no less essential to a proper apprehension of Le Corbusier's structural/spatial grid as a complete idea. This article reexamines the mathematics of the grid employed at Villa de Monzie/Stein and proposes an alternative to the Le Corbusier-Rowe numbering system. The alternative system heightens perception of the grid's fundamental mathematical elegance and ideality as well as its comprehensive control of the "extended field" of the site and elevations/facades. This study seeks to cast new light on the significance of Le Corbusier's assertion that, at Garches, more than at any of his other projects, "proportion ruled absolutely there, as absolute mistress."
