        where did the form come from?
        
        based on tech and what was necessary
        
        "mental and physical sensations of life in the Machine Age" (Rye 13).
        
        "determining new forms, new lines, and a new harmony of profiles and volumes, an architecture whose reasons for existence can be found solely in the unique conditions of modern life" (Sant'Elia).
        
        "architecture must be resolved... through flashes of genius and through scientific and technical expertise" (Sant'Elia).
        
        All new forms should be created by new technology
        
        "reflect the 'dynamism' of modern life" (Rye 13).
        
        Influenced by evolving transportation technology
        
        "we have lost our predilection for the monumental, the heavy, the static, and we have enriched our sensibility with a taste for the light, the practical, the ephemeral and the swift" (Sant'Elia).
        
        "THE DECORATIVE MUST BE ABOLISHED" (Sant'Elia).
        
        "It is not a question of finding new mouldings and frames for windows and doors, of replacing columns, pilasters and corbels with caryatids, flies and frogs. Neither has it anything to do with leaving a facade in bare brick, or plastering it, or facing it with stone or in determining formal differences between the new building and the old one" (Sant'Elia).
        
        "The art of construction has been able to evolve with time, and to pass from one style to another, while maintaining unaltered the general characteristics of architecture, because in the course of history changes of fashion are frequent and are determined by the alterations of religious conviction and political disposition" (Sant'Elia).
        
        "Roofs and underground spaces must be used; the importance of the facade must be diminished" (Sant'Elia).
    - - "monument to the fallen" was built based on his designs
  - - - "it [human skill] has always lagged behind and with steps of lead has followed the incessant evolution of human expression"
      - "Futurist architecture, will be an abstract consequence of the atmospheric elements of the forms of space originated by the revolutionary needs intrinsic to Futurist human life"
      - "elements used by primitive man to build his own dwelling, have been repeated by every generation of all the different civilizations with an increasing devaluation of architectonic forms in relation to practical needs"
