PO-2

AΒ concrete plate fence Β«PO-2Β», the most replicated architectural project inΒ Soviet Union. ItΒ was designed byΒ architect Boris Lachman inΒ 70’s asΒ aΒ fence aimed toΒ guard the military bases orΒ industrial production from the random trespass. But asΒ itΒ often happens, this piece started its’ own life and this specific fence appeared inΒ every town inΒ the endless territory ofΒ the USSR. 
And asΒ aΒ result, his architectural element became anΒ integral part ofΒ the Soviet and Post-Soviet urban landscape.

For you toΒ understandΒ β€” onΒ more than 22Β million square kilometers which isΒ now the territory ofΒ fifteen modern countriesΒ β€” you can hardly find aΒ graffiti writer orΒ street artist who didn’t try the spray can onΒ this fence.
