Tatlin's Constructivist tower was to be built from industrial materials: iron, glass and steel. It would have dwarfed the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Its main form was a twin helix which spiraled up to 400 meters high. The design envisaged three building blocks, covered with glass windows, which would rotate at different speeds. The first one, a cube, once a year; the second one, a pyramid, once a month; the third one, a cylinder, once a day. The tower was supposed to hold the halls and offices of the Comintern, and also house a telegraph office and several restaurants. Visitors would be moved around mechanically, passing flashing messages on a giant screen showing the latest world news. In its overhead, projections onto clouds would relay messages to the city.
