Fairview Park Mall - Grand Market District

It's kind of in between, IMO. International Style is generally more uniform and regular, like the Bauhaus or Toronto Dominion Centre. The Sears facade was uniform, but the use of concrete and the circular nature of it has it more in a brutalist tradition. Both are modernist styles, so they have some aesthetic and theoretical crossover.
