The wider context

Architecture in focus

The International Style codified Modernism into a set of formal principles: volume over mass, regularity over symmetry, and the elimination of applied ornament. The catalogue holds 5 International Style buildings, from Le Corbusier and Jeanneret's Villa Savoye to Scharoun's Villa Schminke.

These buildings share a vocabulary of steel-frame construction, glass curtain walls, and open floor plans that became the default language of corporate and institutional architecture worldwide. The style's name comes from the 1932 MoMA exhibition that introduced European Modernism to America.
