The International style became prominent during the 1920s-1930s, where the Modernist Architects started to emerge. The most common characteristic of this style is having rectilinear forms, open interior spaces, and the use of certain materials such as glass and steel as well as concrete.
Since modernization took place in the 20th century, structures were commonly built as office spaces and commercial spaces.
The extensive use of Glass windows gave birth to the Curtain Wall which is a signature feature of the era.
