Svetlana Boym'sArchitecture of the Off-Modern is an imaginative tour through the history and afterlife of Vladimir Tatlin's legendary but unbuilt Monument to the Third International of 1920. Generally considered to be the defining expression of architectural constructivism, the structure was envisioned as a towering symbol of modernity and a twisting, turning memorial and media center for the Bolshevik Revolution that would have dwarfed the Eiffel Tower. Boym traces the vicissitudes of Tatlin's tower from its reception in the 1920s toits privileged recall in "the reservoir of unofficial utopian dreams" of the Soviet era. Boym offers an alternative history of modernism, postulating the "architecture of adventure" as a poetic model for "third route" thinking about technology, history, and aesthetic culture.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 38-40).
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.
