"Electric Power Plant, 1914" is a visionary architectural drawing by the Italian architect and draftsman Antonio Sant'Elia, who is renowned for his futuristic designs and for being a key member of the Futurist movement in architecture. Although Sant'Elia's career was cut short by his death in World War I, his bold sketches and ideas have had a lasting impact on the development of modern architecture and urban planning.

The "Electric Power Plant" drawing is part of Sant'Elia's larger body of work known as "La Città Nuova" or "The New City," which was a series of design proposals conceived between 1912 and 1914. These designs were never built but were intended to reflect the dynamism and energy of the modern industrial age. Sant'Elia's work in this series is characterized by monumental scale, the use of new materials like reinforced concrete, and the integration of industrial and technological elements into the urban fabric.

In the "Electric Power Plant" drawing, Sant'Elia showcases his vision for a structure that embodies the power and importance of electricity in the future city. The design features bold geometric forms, massive structural elements, and an emphasis on verticality, which were all hallmarks of Sant'Elia's futuristic aesthetic. The power plant is depicted as a cathedral of industry, symbolizing the reverence for technology and progress that was central to Futurist ideology.

Sant'Elia's drawings, including "Electric Power Plant, 1914," were exhibited in 1914 at the "Nuove Tendenze" exhibition in Milan and later at the "Esposizione Libera Futurista Internazionale" in Rome. These works were accompanied by his "Manifesto of Futurist Architecture," in which he articulated his ideas about the role of architecture in shaping modern life.

Although Sant'Elia did not live to see his designs realized, his influence can be seen in the work of later architects and in the development of architectural movements such as Art Deco, Constructivism, and even some aspects of Modernism. The "Electric Power Plant, 1914" remains an iconic example of early 20th-century avant-garde architecture and a testament to Sant'Elia's visionary genius.
