I believe that building design in the commercial world echoed what was happening in residential design but also may have influenced the residential design. With technology moving forward so rapidly movement was a major theme seen in both these buildings. The villa sovoye was designed around the movement of the car, while the Chrysler building was made for the car. The movement of the skyscraper was vertical and not horizontal. Both buildings have stripped aesthetics and simple decorations. Another similarity is that both buildings incorporate many windows to let in as much natural light as possible. They both also have a fluid connection between the interior and exterior design. A major difference is that the majority of the weight of the villa savoye is distributed equally and is on stilts while they skyscraper's weight is all at the base. In the end these two buildings are more similar than they come off to be and they both affect each other.
