International Style (1 gen 1920 anni – 1 gen 1939 anni)

Descrizione:

A major architectural style that was developed in the 1920s and 1930s and was closely related to modernism and modern architecture.
It developed in Europe and the US and became the dominant tendency in Western architecture during the middle decades of the 20th century.
The most common characteristics of International Style buildings are rectilinear forms; light, taut plane surfaces that have been completely stripped of applied ornamentation and decoration; open interior spaces; and a visually weightless quality engendered by the use of cantilever construction.
Glass and steel, in combination with usually less visible reinforced concrete, are the characteristic materials of construction.
