The Villa Savoye was a very influential building of the 1930s, and imitations can be found all over the world. The building featured in two hugely influential books of the time: Hitchcock and Johnson's "The International Style" published in 1932, and F. R. S. Yorke's "The Modern House" published in 1934, as well as the second volume of Le Corbusier's own series "The Complete Works". In his 1947 essay "The Mathematics of the Ideal Villa", Colin Rowe compared the Villa Savoye to Palladio's Villa Rotunda.
