International Style architecture

International Style architecture emerged in the 1920s and 1930s as a modernist movement emphasizing functional design, simplicity, and the use of new materials like steel, glass, and concrete. It avoids decorative details, focusing instead on clean lines, open interior spaces, and a sense of volume and transparency. The style reflects a universal aesthetic, suitable for different cultures and environments, highlighting efficiency and the future-oriented spirit of modernism. Prominent examples include iconic skyscrapers and office buildings that prioritize practicality while maintaining sleek, minimalist appearances.
