The term “International Style” comes from a 1932 book of the same name by Henry6-Russell Hitchcock and Philip Johnson, which recorded the International Exhibition of Modern Architecture at New York City’s Museum of Modern Art that same year. The book identified, categorized, and then expanded upon characteristics common across the world to “Modernism.” The authors identified three principles: Balance rather than pre-conceived symmetry, expression of volume rather than mass, and the expulsion of applied ornament. Prior to the formalization of the term, the same approaches were evident in the works of U.S. architects Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Irving Gill.
