International Style International Style One common criticism of modern architects such as Mies van der Rohe and Walter Gropius is that while their goals might have been laudable, the execution and physical manifestation of their beliefs is somehow disconnected from the culture in which it grew out of. As ‘ineffective’ as critics might say this style was, there is great importance in the entire movement made in architecture during the mid-twentieth century. Understanding where the International Style came from, who was involved and what accomplishments were made will allow us to appreciate the architecture we see around us everyday. The International Style began as a movement in architecture known as ‘Bauhaus’. This was a German expression used for ‘house for building’. ‘Bauhaus’ became an institution from which a new social order would arise. Walter Gropius was the head of this institution, but once the Nazis shut down the school, the ‘Functionalists’ as they were known, emigrated to the U.S. The Functionalists included Gropius, Mies van der Rohe and others. The term ‘International Style’ was used to describe the American form of ‘Bauhaus’ architecture. Common characteristics of International Style buildings are rectangular forms that have been completely stripped of applied decoration, visually weightless style, international, steel, chair, furniture, building, one, made, new, designed, buildings, architecture, van, frame, der, shapes, leather, glass, flat, first, bauhaus, same, rohe, piece, mies, gropius, geometric, designs, classic, city, barcelona, architectural, 1928, ‘bauhaus’, york Word Count: 1534 Acceptance_Essays American_History Anatomy_&_Physiology Animal_Science_&_Zoology Anthropology Architecture Art Astronomy Aviation Biographies Book_Reports Business Computers Creative_Writing Current_Events Economics Education Engineering English Environmental_Science Ethics European_History Film_&_TV Foreign_Languages Geography Government_&_Politics Health_&_Beauty History_Other Human_Sexuality Legal_Issues Marketing Mathematics Medicine Miscellaneous Music Mythology Philosophy Physics Poetry Political_Science Psychology Religion Science Shakespeare Social_Issues Sociology Speech Sports_&_Recreation Supernatural Technology Theater Theses_&_Dissertations
