Throughout former Yugoslavia and the Eastern Bloc, futuristic and brightly colored kiosks began to emerge as hot dog stands, flower shops, currency exchanges, ticket booths, and more. The seminal K67 model, devised by Slovenian designer Saša J. Mächtig, spurred numerous other designs around the region. The modules are constructed of reinforced fiberglass and were conceived as single units that could be linked together to create larger clusters.

Over time, as the kiosks have aged and weathered, they have been gradually abandoned or removed. A new book, Kiosk: The Last Modernist Booths Across Central and Eastern Europe, celebrates these tiny urban icons, featuring more than 150 examples photographed by David Navarro and Martyna Sobecka.

Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore, but Soviet-era houses are still somebody's home.

I am biased, I was born in a typical Siberian city, and I kinda understand this aesthetics.

What do you think about those buildings? Ugly? Utilitarian?

Eastern Blocks: photographs of the brutalist towers of the former USSR

Zupagrafika's new book Eastern Blocks (subtitle: "Concrete Landscapes of the Former Eastern Bloc") collects more than 100 beautiful photos of the brutalist towers of ex-Soviet nations, "‘Sleeping districts’ of Moscow, Plattenbauten of East Berlin, modernist estates of Warsaw, Kyiv`s Brezhnevki."

David Navarro and Martyna Sobecka (AKA Zupagrafika) started photographing the towers as design reference for their studios but soon fell in love with brutalism itself and began commissioning photographers around the region to take pictures for the book.

Wired has a smashing gallery of images from the book, which retails for €19.

Brutal London | Zupagrafika

Brutal London is a fun book through London’s post-war brutalist architecture that allows you to recreate some of its most interesting and controversial concrete structures, including Alexandra Road Estate, National Theatre, Robin Hood Gardens, Barbican Estate, Balfron Tower and Space House.

Published in 2015 by Zupagrafika, an independent publisher and design studio established in 2012 by David Navarro and Martyna Sobecka. The studio is based in Poland and has a special affinity with Polish Poster School, post-war modernist architecture, and paper.

The first part of the book features a foreword by Norman Foster and looks at the significance of these buildings with a short chapter on each, complete with texts by John Grindrod, author of Concretopia and photos by Peter Chadwick, author of This Brutal World. It continues with a series of illustrated buildings to be found around the districts of Camden, Southwark, Tower Hamlet, Roehampton and City of London.

Printed on heavy card stock, you can detach and construct both iconic brutalist structures, such as Balfron Tower, Barbican Estate, and National Theatre, as well as social council estates, like Robin Hood Gardens and Aylesbury Estate doomed to premature demolition.

My building

What & who - Half a decade the duo David Navarro and Martyna Sobecka worked on a project were they photographed people outside their post war Modernist houses, while they are holding a miniature of the same building. The duo traveled to various city’s such as Berlin, London, Warsaw, St. Petersburg. Some people are proud of their homes. Other’s are sad because they are about to be kicked out their homes, which will be demolished.

Why - I think it’s an interesting subject because usually this people are not a common subject to be photographed especially with this estates they are living in the background. It’s a nice why of investigating those specific kind of buildings that are build all over Europe and the people who actually life in there. Maybe the houses look quiet ugly and grayish from the outside. But what is on the inside? I don’t really understand why a miniature is involved though and I think the photography is quiet shitty. For example the lightning, but of course that is not the main focus in this project.
