International: This style was conjured during the 1920's and 1930's (Which was the rise of modern architecture). Each country had a different "addition" or "mix" of international architecture. America had a minimalist approach. When constructing an international high-rise or skyscraper, there were four characteristics to it which were: square/rectangular footprint, cubic form, windows ran in broken horizontal forms which made a grid and the facades were angled at 90 degrees. International architecture was known for three concepts:
1. Volume over mass
2. Balance over perceived symmetry
3. No more ornaments.
