Tatlin Tower (Cambridge Architectural Research Ltd)

Vladimir Tatlin's iconic monument to the Russian Revolution was never built. CAR Director Philip Cooper was structural engineer for the 1:40 scale model created in the courtyard of the Royal Academy for the 'Building the Revolution' exhibition.

Nobody ever considers that maybe it was never intended to be built? Today's equivalent are the hundreds of "tallest building in the world" designs that pop up every year. Nobody ever expects them to be built, they exist to encourage thought and publicity. Same with this tower. People are still talking about it 100 years later. Mission accomplished.
