question 46
which of the following features of ludwig mies van der rohe and philip johnsons seagram building demonstrates the international style of architecture?
a the focus on energy efficient architecture
b the avoidance of applied decoration
c the use of traditional materials
d the emphasis on regional style

Explanation:

The International Style of architecture is characterized by minimalism and the avoidance of ornamentation. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson's Seagram Building adheres to this principle. Energy - efficient architecture (Option A) is more related to modern sustainable design rather than the core of the International Style. The use of traditional materials (Option C) goes against the International Style's preference for new materials like steel and glass. Emphasis on regional style (Option D) is contrary to the International Style's universal, non - regional approach.

Answer:

B. the avoidance of applied decoration
