	Utilising new construction techniques and materials, buildings of the International Style were starkly different than those of previous eras, and not just appearance-wise. Flat roofed, asymmetrical and with bands of windows set into a rectangular form, International Style buildings were a dramatic departure from past eras.

	The influence of the International Style continued long beyond its period of popularity. By creating a new philosophy of architecture dedicated to the pure functionality of form, the International Style had a lasting impact on modern design.

	Pure examples of architect-designed International Style buildings are somewhat rare, but many buildings of the era between 1930-1950 show its influence. Many schools built at the mid century show the basic design principles of the International Style.

−	Wealthy followers of the avant garde in architecture commissioned prominent architects to design International Style homes, but the style was not much embraced for more ordinary working class house construction in the USA. However, the design principles of the International Style of functionality and open floor plans could be seen in the tract homes that developed in the post WWII years.	+	Wealthy followers of the avant garde in architecture commissioned prominent architects to design International Style homes, but the style was not much embraced for more ordinary working class house construction in the USA.
