“International style”, first proposed in 1932 at the New York MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) exhibition entitled “Modern

Architecture : International Exhibition” and publication of the same title, has become a key reference to an innovation

movement of architecture expression codes that originated in Europe and the United States in the early twentieth

century, and on a more general level, it has become a general term for descript the universal architectural style of

metropolises around the world today. However, how to define the “international style” ? What is the origin of “modern

architecture”?What is the significance of “modern architecture”, as a architectural expression code innovation movement

with its outstanding representations of pioneers and groups to the history of architecture in general? This course

attempts to answer the above basic questions through the reproduction of the historical evolution process, and within this

process, we hope to cultivate students’ cultural sensitivity, historical awareness, and improve the cultivation of

architectural aesthetics.
