<span class="mw-page-title-main">New Formalism (architecture)</span> Late modernist style of architecture

New Formalism is an architectural style that emerged in the United States during the mid-1950s and flowered in the 1960s.

The style was used primarily for high-profile cultural, high tech, institutional and civic buildings. Edward Durrell Stone's New Delhi American Embassy (1954), which blended the architecture of the east with modern western concepts, is considered to be the symbolic start of New Formalism architecture.
