Zupagrafika "Paneki" - product description "Panelki: Construct Your Socialist Prefab Panel Block" is an interactive publication from Zupagrafika that allows you to literally touch the history of post-war Eastern Bloc architecture. The book is dedicated to the phenomenon of large-panel construction—a system that, under various names Plattenbau, Panelák, or Wielka Płatki , dominated the landscape of cities from Berlin to Vladivostok. The first part of the book is a richly illustrated introduction presenting the history of prefabricated building systems, enriched by archival photographs and propaganda posters from the era. The second part is a creative challenge: a set of 164 elements, ready to be pressed and assembled, that allow you to build a three-dimensional model of the block, 27 cm high. The illustrations on the sheets reproduce the details of the facades with extraordinary precision, creating a realistic miniature of the buildings that still house millions of people today. Become the architect of your own piece of modernist history. Also check out our other creative albums and books.
