Khrushchevka in Estonia

Khrushchevka in Estonia:

Here are some more pictures of Soviet era apartments (since renovated).

Just look at the Mustamäe district in Tallinn, Estonia in google maps if you want to see how many of these things there are.

Fill the areas behind the red boxes with cans.

The yellow areas are clear from cans and useable.

By the way, the yellow square on the bottom floor. Use it as a tea shop, coffee shop, dairy (aka convenience store), or for other similar purposes*. It is okay to miss one apartment out on the bottom floor, I think. It’s still experimental.

For the sake of this experiment, use clean, factory fresh aluminium cans of the type often used to sell Coca-Cola and other soft drinks. Crush the cans individually, to increase the density. Keep the cans loose though, and then when you fill the rooms, use a loose fill of cans.

You may wish to put up barriers inside the rooms, to hold the cans back from pouring out through the doors. I’m not sure how deep the cans have to be or how high the walls have to be. But it may be the case that you don’t have to put these barriers all the way up to the roof. It may be the case that maybe 1.8 metre high barriers and 1.6 metre high depth of cans is fine (just for the sake of argument).

* butchers, green grocers, bakery; this assumes that people are building a lot of them
