Two futurist movements arose in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century. Marinetti, an Italian poet, led the Italian Futurists and Malevich led the Russian Futurists. Each group released urgent manifestos rejecting the old processes of art production and advocating new, more futuristic methods of creativity.

Marinetti's famous 1909 manifesto exemplifies the sense of speed and ingenuity that motivated these movements: "We hold that the greatness of the world has been enhanced by a new beauty: the beauty of speed. A racing car with huge tubes like snakes with explosive breath on its hood, a screaming car that seems to run towards the cartouche, it is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace".

It was because of this energy that Antonio Sant'Elia and his partner Mario Chiattone became the first famous architects to build and provide input on the futuristic architecture that exemplified Marinetti's appeal for a new beauty based on speed and energy. . The painters made their debut at L-Architettura Futurista in Nuova, Milan, in 1912.

Sant'Elia imagined "Citta Nuova", a futuristic metropolis with towers, bridges and walkways. Sant'Elia wrote a manifesto for Futurist architecture in 1914, with the help of Marinetti, in which he explained: "We feel that we are no longer people of cathedrals and ancient courtrooms, but people of great hotels, stations, giant highways, colossal harbours, covered markets, gleaming arcades, salvageable slum clearance and redevelopment zones."

The unexpected death of San Elia in 1916 prevented him from continuing to build on his designs.

In the same period, Vladimir Tatlin began to work in Russia on his future architectural concepts. Tatlin's first effort, Monument to the Third International, is motivated by the same goal of eschewing traditional architectural forms.

Tatlin's ideas, like those of St. Elias, were never fully realized, but he created a model of a metal building with a rounded spiral and diagonal curvature. Tatlin rose to fame among Russian Futurists as a result of this piece.

Egypt, like most countries, is being hit hard by the coronavirus epidemic that is sweeping the planet. Its monuments remain closed, waiting for better times. But the [https://www.fenarq.com/2019/06/arquitectura-egipcia.html Egyptian] authorities, in collaboration with the foreign archaeological missions that are excavating there, have devised a way to entertain the millions of lovers of Pharaonic culture during this season of confinement: virtual tours of the country's various monuments.

The first of these "capsules" of [https://www.fenarq.com/2020/04/piramides-de-giza.html Egyptian culture] that has been launched is an itinerary through the tomb of Menna (TT69), in Luxor, 600 kilometers south of Cairo. Menna was a high-ranking Egyptian official who, among other things, held the title of Supervisor of the Fields of Amun during the 18th Dynasty (1539-1292 BC), probably under the reigns of Thutmose IV and Amenhotep III.

In the library of Trinity College, the beautiful Elizabethan-style university founded in 1592 in Dublin, students spend long hours studying some of the great figures of Irish literature, such as Bram Stoker, Oscar Wilde and Samuel Beckett.

Trinity College, Ireland's oldest university, was founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I on the site of a former [https://fenarq.blogspot.com/2019/09/el-partenon-de-atenas.html monastery] for the purpose of providing young Protestants with an alternative to perhaps the too "papist" universities.

It was not until 1793 that the university opened its doors to some Catholic students and in 1903 women were admitted for the first time - earlier than most British universities.

Among the millions of books it holds, the most valuable is Kells, a delicate manuscript with beautiful illustrations made by Celtic monks in 800.

On ascending to the second floor of the library, the silence is absolute.

In the centre there are gleaming showcases with old books and manuscripts. On the left and right are sculptures of such famous people as Isaac Newton, Francis Bacon, Aristotle and Socrates guarding the library on both fronts.

In the library of Trinity College, the beautiful Elizabethan-style university founded in 1592 in Dublin, they spent long hours studying some of the great figures of Irish literature, such as Bram Stoker, Oscar Wilde or Samuel Beckett.

Trinity College, Ireland's oldest university, was founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I on the site of a former monastery for the purpose of providing young Protestants with an alternative to perhaps too "papist" universities by then.

It was not until 1793 that the University opened its doors to some Catholic students and until 1903 women were admitted for the first time even earlier than most British universities.

Among the millions of books it holds, the most valuable is Kells, a delicate manuscript with beautiful illustrations made by Celtic monks in the year 800.

When you go up to the second floor of the library, the silence is absolute.

In the centre of the library there are gleaming showcases with old books and manuscripts. On the left and right are sculptures of such famous people as Isaac Newton, Francis Bacon, Aristotle or Socrates guarding the library on both fronts.
