The International style is a design movement in architecture that emerged in the 1920s and 1930s. It is characterized by a minimalist aesthetic, use of industrial materials, exposed structure, and a focus on functionalism. The style reached its peak during the mid-20th century and became an influential movement in modern architecture. It remains an important style today and has influenced the architecture of many buildings worldwide. Examples of buildings associated with the International style include the Lever House in New York City and the Farnsworth House in Illinois.
