Japanese Blocks by Zupagrafika is a photographic journey by way of the cityscapes of the previous Japanese Bloc, inviting readers to discover the districts and peripheries that grew to become a playground for mass housing improvement after WW2, together with objects like Soviet ‘alien craft’, homes ‘on hen legs’ or hammer-shaped tower blocks.
Showcasing modernist and brutalist structure scattered across the cities of Moscow, (East) Berlin, Warsaw, Budapest, Kyiv and Saint Petersburg, the e book comprises over 100 images taken by Zupagrafika all through the final decade as a reference archive for his or her illustrated kits and books, with particular contributions by native photographers. Divided into 6 chapters, Japanese Blocks features a foreword by author and journalist Christopher Beanland, orientative maps, index of architects and informative texts on the featured cities and constructions.
