Around the world - international architecture

Like Germany’s Bauhaus style Architecture, America had its very own version- international architecture. I noticed that both styles owned the very same features: very minimal on decorative detailing, displayed flat facades and was cubic in form. The simplicity implied in this style, was emphasized with the use of glass in their structures.


I would just like to add that I am really drawn to modern minimalist architecture, the effortless feel, just screams honesty and timelessness. My favorite structure that was influenced by this international style would have to be the falling water by Frank Lloyd Wright. It is well known around the world for its setting and modern design and ability to stay true to its natural surroundings.
