Coinciding with Building the Revolution , this exhibition explores the conception, vision and symbolism of Vladimir Tatlin's unrealised monument to the Third International and reveals the intriguing process undertaken by Jeremy Dixon Architects to recreate a special scaled model of the tower in the Annenberg Courtyard at the Royal Academy.

Jeremy Dixon discusses the process of recreating the Tower at the 'Mythologies of Re-enactment' Forum event on 5 October.
