Tatlin’s Tower

sketch of Tatlin’s Tower
Tatlin’s Tower,or the project for the Monument to the Third International (1919–20)-by Vladimir Tatlin,
that was never built. 
In materials, shape and function, 
it was envisaged as a towering symbol of modernity.

Tatlin's idea on tower:

The tower's main form was a twin helix which spiraled up to 400 m in height,
The main framework would contain four large suspended geometric structures.
These structures would rotate at different rates of speed.
At the base of the structure was a cube which was designed as a venue for conferences,
and this would complete a rotation in the span of one year.
Above the cube would be a smaller pyramid housing executive activities and completing a rotation once a month.
Further up would be a cylinder, which was to house an information centre
and would complete a rotation once a day.
At the top, there would be a hemisphere for radio equipment.
There were also plans to install a gigantic open-air screen on the cylinder,
and a further projector which would be able to cast messages across the clouds on any overcast day

The subject called "The Birth of Venus" a scene from the Greek mythology ,

Venus the goddess of love ,arriving on the island of Cyprus,
it was a violent story of Venus birth. cornus following his mother’s direction, 
cut off the genitals and threw them into the sea.
The sea foam produced Venus, 
Love triumphed over brutality. 
born out of a seashell, a fully mature woman. 
It is worthy to note that in classical times,
the seashell was the symbol for the female genitalia, 
The god of the winds, Zephyr, and the breeze Aura are in a tight embrace, 
and are gently driving Venus towards the shore with their breath.
