About
The book allows you to discover the history of mass architecture in the Soviet era (Platenbau, Panelák, Panelház, ...) and build your own pre-cast building block by block, thanks to 164 press-out panels included in the book.
The first part of the book opens with an introduction to mass housing in the former Soviet Union and its satellites, illustrated with photographs and propaganda posters. The second part contains 164 cardboard panels to press out and build a 27-cm-high 3D block with easy-to-follow instructions. The panels feature detailed illustrations recreating the facades of post-war modernist housing units, which are home to millions of city dwellers to this day, showcasing some elements added by the tenants afterwards, including satellite dishes or graffiti.
