	International style (architecture) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The basic design principles of the international style are identical with those of modernism, but the term usually refers to the buildings and architects of the formative decades of modernism, before World War II.
		In 1927, one of the first and most defining manifestations of the International Style was the Weissenhof Estate in Stuttgart, built as a component of the exhibition "Die Wohnung," organized by the Deutscher Werkbund, and overseen by Mies van der Rohe.
		The term International Style came from the 1932 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, organized by Philip Johnson, and from the title of the exhibition catalog for that exhibit, written by Johnson and Henry Russell Hitchcock.

		In the catalog, International Style: Architecture Since 1922, the authors outlined what they saw as the characteristics of the new architecture: an emphasis on volume, not mass; on regularity, not symmetry; on proportions and sleek, technical perfection rather than ornament; and a preference for elegant materials that included those of the machine age.
		The International Style exhibition, however, focused only on the new pioneers, and architects and historians took that style to be the heart of modernism, to the exclusion of many other innovative modern buildings.
		The term International Style came to refer generally to modern European architecture of the 1920s and 1930s, and the later architecture that it influenced.

		This architectural style that developed in Europe and the United States in the 1920s and '30s and became the dominant tendency in Western architecture during the middle decades of the 20th century.

		Wright’s style was what he preferred to call “organic architecture.” The principles of organic architecture are that a building, or group of buildings, should be suitable to, and in the nature of the site of the environment, the use, the building materials, and the construction process.
		He often attacked the slick boxlike “negativities” of International work, the painted stucco, the boredom of repeated columns It was, in part, Wright’s public attacks on the sameness of the International Style that may have contributed to gradual movements away from the “boxes” on stilts.
		This group’s style of architecture was a manifestation of Functionalism, a term derived from a phrase used by the American architect Louis H. Sullivan in an 1896 essay: “Form Follows Function.” This renowned often-quoted dictum became the credo of scores of modern architects, encapsulating the theory that architectural form should be determined by function alone.
