Tatlin's Tower

Tatlin's Tower, officially known as the Monument to the Third International, was a proposed structure by the Russian artist Vladimir Tatlin in 1919. Intended as a symbol of the Soviet Union’s revolutionary spirit, it was designed to be a towering spiraled iron structure over 400 meters tall, surpassing the Eiffel Tower. The tower was meant to showcase modern technology and serve as a center for political discourse. Although it was never built due to financial and practical challenges, it remains a key emblem of avant-garde architecture and revolutionary ideals in art and design.
