international style

International style in the 1960's can be explained as something that lacked overt influence from previous periods. The surface of an international style structure is unadorned  promoting an aesthetic that could speak to many. This style made no reference to history and could be placed in any climate or location. To speak of global is to imply that something, be it a product, belief, technology etc.;  interacts all around the world.  To me global is more about how intertwined an object or idea is with the world, and international is more so a notion that has the potential to be placed in various places around the world.
