Panelki

Panelki by Zupagrafika (previously known by Brutal London project) allows readers to assemble a genuine Soviet-era prefab block, panel by panel, while learning about the history of prefabricated construction systems commonly used behind the Iron Curtain.

Plattenbau, Panelák, Wielka Płyta, Panelky, Panelház or Панельки: Prefabricated panel blocks go by different names around the former Eastern Bloc, but no matter where they were built, their goal was always the same: to provide homes for expanding city populations after World War II.
