International Style
A functional architecture devoid of regional characteristics, developed in the 1920s and 1930s in Western Europe and the U.S. and applied throughout the world: characterized by simple geometric forms, large untextured, often white surfaces, large areas of glass, and general use of steel or reinforced concrete construction to emphasize structural details. Rejected historical detail as a cover-up for what was the essence of architecture – its internal structure. Sometimes referred to as “International style.” Should use “International Style” instead, because this is a proper name. (Kremer, 2021)
