The International Style is the name of a major architectural style that is said to have emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, the formative decades of modern architecture, as first defined by Americans Henry-Russell Hitchcock and Philip Johnson in 1932, with an emphasis more on architectural style, form and aesthetics than the social aspects of the modern movement as emphasised in Europe.  The term "International Style" first came into use via a 1932 exhibition curated by Hitchcock and Johnson, "Modern Architecture: International Exhibition", which declared and labelled the architecture of the early 20th century as the "International Style".  The most common characteristics of International Style buildings are said to be: i. rectilinear forms; ii.  light, taut plane surfaces that have been completely stripped of applied ornamentation and decoration; iii.  open interior spaces; iv.  a visually weightless quality engendered by the use of cantilever construction.  Glass and steel, in combination with usually less visible reinforced concrete, are the characteristic materials of the construction.

Italy is known for its considerable architectural achievements, such as the construction of arches, domes and similar structure during ancient Rome, the founding of the Renaissance architectural movement in the late-14th to 16th century, and being the homeland of Palladianism, a style of construction which inspired movements such as that of Neoclassical architecture, and influenced the designs which noblemen built their country houses all over the world, notably in the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States of America during the late-17th to early 20th centuries.  Several of the finest works in Western architecture, such as the Colosseum, the Duomo of Milan, the Mole Antonelliana in Turin, Florence cathedral and the building designs of Venice are found in Italy.

The Serbo-Byzantine architectural style or Vardar architectural school (or "style"), is an ecclesiastical architectural style that flourished in the Serbian Late Middle Ages (ca. 1300–1389), during the reign of the Nemanjić dynasty.  It was developed through fusing contemporary Byzantine architecture and the Raška architectural school to form a new style; by the mid-14th century the Serbian state had expanded to include southern Macedonia, Epirus and Thessaly up to the Aegean Sea.  On these new territories Serbian art was even more influenced by the Byzantine art tradition.

Usually Serbo-Byzantine buildings are decorated with frescoes that depict biblical stories.
