Introduction to Architecture: FUTURISM

Futurism started in Italy in the early 20th century when Filippo Marinetti announced the first manifesto of Futurism until the end of World War 1. The Futurists love technology, speed and violence. Futurism is grounded in the complete renewal of human sensibility brought about by the great discoviries of science. While Futurism was certainly a product of the industrialized and urban north, Marinetti's internationalism brought a new dimension of experience and a firmer sense of identitiy to artists trapped between the achievements of the ever-present Renaissence.They are supporters of future and modern tools and vehicles like cars, planes. Painters are usually was trying to express the feeling of movement in their paintings. Futurism was inspired by the development of Cubism and went beyond its techniques.Futurism was a largely Italian movement, although it also had effects in other countries, France and most notably Russia. Futurism influenced many other 20th century art movements, including Art Deco, Vorticism, Constructivism and Surrealism.
