International style is characterized by the use of materials such as concrete, glass, iron, and steel. It is focused on functionality instead of decorative details. But, it still shows artistic expression through the use of principles, elements, scale, and materials. As the website suggests, Gropius shows International style the best, out of the other designers. In the Gropius house, he uses basic materials of International style which were concrete and steel. Again, in the Bauhaus, he uses concrete and glass. Prairie style is demonstrated by Wright through the use of materials like wood which aren't seen as often in other modern designs. Through the use of wood, horizontal shapes, and neutral colors, he tries to connect viewers to nature. Every modern designer may have a different idea that they want to convey. But, just because their style is different from others, doesn't mean that it's not considered modern. All of these designers listed on the website have the common purpose of creating a building/object that is primarily functional.
