80 p. ill. (some col.) 23 cm. This is an imaginative tour through the history and afterlife of Vladimir Tatlin's legendary but unbuilt Monument to the Third International of 1920. Boym traces the vicissitudes of Tatlin's Tower from its reception in the 1920s to its privileged recall in 'the reservoir of unofficial utopian dreams' of the Soviet-era. Contents: Architecture of adventure and the off-modern -- Tatlin's Techne and revolutionary ruins -- Architecture of estrangement and the curve of freedom -- Architecture of suspension and project-poetics -- Installation-architecture and contemporary ruinophilia -- Notes and credits -- Illustrations -- An off-modern manifesto. Boym, Svetlana, 1959-2015 Includes bibliographical references (p. 38-40).
