The Futurist Manifesto written by the Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti was published in 1909. To celebrate its one hundred year anniversary Atkinson+CO have created two visuals of designs by the Italian futurist architect Antonio Sant'Elia.
At the exhibition Nuove Tendenze of May 1914 Sant'Elia presented his new town planning ideas under the title Citta Nuova. The exhibition was accompanied with The Manifesto of Futurist Architecture an attack on what Sant’Elia perceived to be the sorry state of architectural practice.
Based closely on the Sant'Elia's iconic original drawings the visualisations show the vast monolithic structures in a contemporary London setting.
