MOTIVATION

With this archive, we appropriate concrete blocks to build a new, positive social group that could make proactive decisions and improve living conditions in the future.
‍
During the last century, metal construction and hooks in the concrete blocks helped standardization to develop. This practice was applied to extensive housing construction in the Soviet times. Still, nowadays, around 170 million people live in these houses; however, most buildings are in poor condition or have negative connotations.
