International Style

 

The International Style, also known as Modernist architecture, is a 20th-century architectural style that prioritizes functionality, simplicity, and the use of modern materials like glass, steel, and concrete. It is characterized by clean lines, geometric shapes, and a lack of ornamentation. This style often features horizontal emphasis, ribbon windows, open floor plans, and an industrial aesthetic. Prominent architects associated with the International Style include Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Walter Gropius. This style has had a significant influence on modern architecture and is commonly seen in office buildings, skyscrapers, and residential complexes.
