| summary |
This studio, subsidized by a grant from the Havighurst Center for RussianStudies, focused on a collective investigation of a visionary early sovietproject of 1918-20 by Vladimir Tatlin for a Monument to the ThirdInternational. The twelve students in this studio decided to use Tatlin’sproject as a starting point for a new and greatly expanded headquartersfor the United Nations, to be sited on the Upper Bay of New York City–as aclimactic intermediate between the Varrazano Narrows bridge, the Statueof Liberty, and the profi le of Lower Manhattan. The political aspirationsmetaphorically embodied in this monument seemed appropriate to thelofty goals of the United Nations. |
