Vladimir Tatlin's Monument to the Third International (1919-20), is perhaps the most resonant unmade building of the last century. It is the subject of this book, that proposes a reordering of historical categories and possible future uses for the ruins of the recent past - the ruin, properly understood, being precisely the concept that undoes both futurism and nostalgia.This book is part of the FORuM Project, dedicated to exploring the relationship of architectural form to politics and urban life.
