International Architecture

This style of Architecture emerged in 1920's-1930's. Some of the  pioneers of  this style that I know are Ludwig Van Der Rohe  and Le Corbusier,. The origin of the term comes from the name of a book by Henry- Russel Hitchcock and Philip Johnson. The reason why it is called International because of  that the design solution of this style were indifferent to site, location and climate.  These are the defining features of this style;   Simple geometric forms, asymmetrical, series of volumes, concrete and steel construction with a nonstructural skin, cylindrical surfaces etc,,... I really like this kind of  style in architecture.. It is really far from the old styles.. It was very modern and it somehow describes that the world is really progressing...
