Abstract
This paper explores Oscar Nemon’s Center of Universal Ethics project, a visionary but unrealized endeavor within his utopian movement advocating for universal ethics. Drawing heavily from interwar modernist and avant-garde architecture, particularly Russian constructivism, the design resonates with Konstantin Melnikov’s architectural oeuvre. Through comparative analysis, the paper proposes hypotheses regarding the project’s origins and its relationship with Melnikov’s innovative architectural concepts.
