International Style Architecture
International Style Architecture refers to a modern architectural style that emerged in the early 20th century and became prominent in the 1920s and 1930s. It is characterized by a minimalist approach to design, with an emphasis on geometric shapes, clean lines, and the use of industrial materials such as glass, steel, and concrete. This style often features asymmetrical compositions, flat roofs, and large expanses of windows. International Style buildings are typically devoid of ornamentation, focusing instead on functional and rational design principles. Developed by European architects such as Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Walter Gropius, the International Style had a significant influence on architecture around the world and remains influential to this day.
