Constructivism emerged in Russia following WWI in 1913. It was in response to the notion that fine art was the forefront of the art world. Social and economic issues along with the rise of the industrial revolution coursed artists into a new trend in painting, and sculpture. Constructivism was considered an invention of the Russian avant-garde. Its themes are usually minimal, 3-dimensional forms of some kind of architecture. It seems heavily influenced on the rise of machinery.
It was supposed to be built 400m high, about 80m taller than the Eiffel Tower.
