With the International Style exhibition of 1932, the Museum of Modern Art plunged into the discourse regarding modern architecture. In this lecture, we will reflect on the efforts of MoMA to “educate” American designers about international architectural trends, while simultaneously missing the rich flavors of modernism that were thriving regionally in the United States.
