ABSENT ARCHITECTURES 13: EL LISSITZKY: WOLKENBÜGEL 1924-1925

Description

Part of a series of project notebooks accompanying the exhibition ‘Absent Architectures of the 20th Century’ which examines architectural projects from the last century that were never built, have been drastically altered or demolished. The ‘Wolkenbügel’, an audacious office building designed by El Lissitzky for the centre of Moscow in 1924-25, was proposed as a horizontal variation to the American skyscraper. The project is examined through plans, sketches, photographs and authoritative essays.
