International Style is a major architectural style that emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, characterized by its emphasis on volume over mass, the use of industrial materials, and a lack of ornamentation. This style promotes functionality and simplicity, often featuring open floor plans and large glass windows that create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Prominent figures associated with the International Style include Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, and Walter Gropius. Their designs reflect a commitment to modernity and a belief in the power of architecture to improve society. The International Style has had a lasting impact on contemporary architecture worldwide.
