Described as the International Style by Reyner Banham, the style was linked with architects such as Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe and prevalent in Europe and USA initially.Modern Architecture became the equivalent of the Classical Style in the Georgian period, ie the establishment architecture, the status quo. The key Modern Architects are generally accepted to be Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright though clearly many will suggest others. Since the seventies architecture styles have become more fractured and we have - amongst what could be termed contemporary architects - post-modernists, neo-modernists, deconstructivists, contextualists, expressionists and so on. 'Contemporary Architects' suggests a position that is anti-vernacular, comfortable with new materials and non-local materials & forms, using architectural language that is not generally steeped in past typographies or traditions.
