Los monumentos que no fueron - A. Garkavenko

Cuando las ciudades enteras se definen por una silueta particular (París y Nueva York, por nombrar algunos), es fácil olvidar que hubo un tiempo antes de que estas formas aún existieran. Proyectos de esa envergadura frecuentemente formaban parte de concursos, después de todo, donde muchas ideas e iteraciones fueron descartadas hasta llegar a la forma final. En algún lugar, hay un universo alternativo en donde el edificio Chrysler fue rematado con una cúpula, la Torre Tribune era solo una enorme columna dórica, y el Arco del Triunfo fue un elefante gigante (!). Y pensamos que algunos de los diseños de hoy en día son extravagantes!

When whole cities are defined by the silhouette of a folly (Paris and New York, to name a few), it is easy to forget that there was a time before these forms were even in existence. Projects of that scale were often parts of competitions, after all, where many ideas and iterations were thrown out in order to get to the final shape. Somewhere out there, there isan alternate universe where the Chrysler Building was topped with a dome, the Tribune Tower was a single enormous doric column, and the Arc de Triomphe was a giant elephant (!). And you thought some of today's designs were flamboyant!

All three of these proposals were made by John Russell Pope and took inspiration from the architectural forms of foreign lands... including the ziggurat, circular ziggurat and pyramid (respectively).

Great Tower of London, Watkin's Tower 
London, UK

The British were so obsessed with The Eiffel Tower from the 1889 World's Fair that the next year they held a competition to build their very own one in London. The winning design was by Stewart, MacLaren and Dunn, and although building started 1891, it was abruptly stopped 1894 and subsequently demolished in 1907.

Monument to Democracy 
San Pedro, California, USA

In 1954, LA County Supervisor John Anson Ford pushed to build the Pacific Ocean’s “Statue of Liberty.” Although never built, this design by Millard Sheets was to be 480 feet tall, featuring three figures holding a bronze globe of 125 feet in diameter. Via Adam Arenson

Mothers Memorial 
Washington D.C., USA

By Joseph Geddes, 1925: “To the mother genius raised in imperishable stone, beautified by art and sculpture, to proclaim the debt each mortal owes to the woman who risked her own life to give life.” We would love to know what Freud would have to say about this. ViaMaterialist Papers.

Tatlin's Tower (Monument to the Third International)St. Petersburg, Russia

This headquarters of the Comintern was meant to have been built in 1919-20 byconstructivist Vladimir Tatlin after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. The finished structure would have dwarfed the Eiffel Tower, and despite never having been built, it still an managed to play an influential part in the history of architectural constructivism. Images via4rts and verysmallkitchen.

BONUS: Noguchi's Monument To The Plough
Set in the Midwest Prairie on land affected by wheat crop curtailment program. By Isamu Noguchi, 1933.

"The steel plow, Dr. Rumley told me, had been devised through correspondence between Franklin and Jefferson, which had then made possible the opening up of the western plains. My model indicated my wish to belong to America, to its vast horizons of earth." -- Isamu Noguchi, A Sculptor's World, 1968.
