CUBISM DE STIJL
This contrast of bright color was set against the white and black surfaces to accent the structure of the building. Another element of the International Style that was incorporated in this design was the use of continuous windows and reflective surfaces.
The interior of the International Style building was based on the use of boxes.
The Schrรถder House best demonstrated the International Style of architecture, and this architectural style became so popular around the world, that the style became known as the International Style. The Bauhaus, created by Walter Gropius, incorporated this style into its design.
The Rietveld Schrรถder House constitutes both inside and outside a radical break with all architecture before it.

The period termed "art deco" manifested itself roughly between the two world wars,or 1920 to 1939. This period of design and style did not just affect architecture, but all of the fine and applied arts as well. Furniture, sculpture, clothing, jewelry and graphic design were all influenced by the Art Deco style. If one is looking for an appropriate word to describe overall Art Deco as a design style, 'Speed' would be the best word for it. Art Deco designers use stepped forms, rounded corners, triple-striped decorative elements and black decoration quite a lot. The most important thing is that they are all in geometrical order, and simple formats. And simple formats.
