"At the Royal Academy of Arts in London, an exhibition  shows among other things the work of Vladimir Tatlin, including a model of the tower in question.



The huge scale of this work, together with their differences with everything built up to that time and even with everything built until this day produces that many years after being conceived it continues attracting the interest of many people."

The tower itself has never been built. It was a symbol for the russian industrial revolution. The bleuprint was containing rotating spaces. Although the technologie was available, Russia wasn't ready for a building with these features.
