Antonio Sant'Elia was an influential Italian architect. Originally a builder by training, Sant'Elia opened a design office in Milan in 1912, where he became involved with the Futurist movement. Influenced by industrialized cities of the United States, Sant'Elia  began a series of conceptual drawings for the futurist Città Nuova ‘New City’, that were intended to be symbolic of the new age.
