House plans were drawn to enable occupants to move from one location to another with the fewest number of steps. Rooms were said to be exceptionally large for the amount of cubic footage. These plans allowed the use of 80 to 85 percent of the usable area rather than the usual 65 to 70 percent.

	The term "International Architecture" is believed to have been first used in February and March 1932, by the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Among the famous architects who began their careers in the style were Marcel Breuer, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Walter Gropius. Using concrete, steel and glass as their favorite materials, architects of the International school often created corner windows with mitered glass having no support. Although many architects moved on to other styles, the simplicity of International architecture has been seen by experts to continually influence more modern work.
