what style of architecture?

what specific style of architecture are the single story rectangular shaped homes with the outside wall made entirely of glass, with randomly placed thin window panes? I'm guessing it developed sometime around the 1950's or 60's.

4. Post-War International Style 1940—1960 , sometimes called the Bauhaus style - since many of the architects connected with it, trained or taught at the Bauhaus School in Dessau, Germany. The exact appearance differed in different countries according to climate. But typically: the houses were linear, single storey with a low pitched gable roof. They had exposed rafters and wide eaves. Walls were generally bagged or painted brick and windows were large areas of glass with regularly spaced timber mullions Examples from Australia - scroll down to pics. of private houses. .
