The International Style

The International Style is an architectural movement that emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, emphasizing function, simplicity, and the use of modern materials like steel and glass. It focuses on clean lines, open interior spaces, and a lack of ornamentation, reflecting a universal approach meant to be adaptable across different contexts worldwide. The style aims to prioritize practicality and efficiency while creating visually uncluttered, sleek structures that can serve various purposes without stylistic distractions. It has influenced modern skyscrapers and buildings, promoting a sense of order and modernity in architecture.
