International Architecture

International architecture was a modern movement during the 1920s and 1930s. The men who coined the term "International Architecture" were Henry Russel Hitchcock and Philip Johnson. These men wrote a book to record the International Exhibition of Modern Architecture in 1932 which sparked this category of architecture. Hitchcock and Johnson identified three different principles which outlined this new style. The first was the expression of volume rather than mass. The second was balance rather than preconceived symmetry. The third and final principle was expulsion of applied ornament. International Architecture was a new modern form that advanced pre-set principles of architecture.
