A rebar (short for reinforcing bar), is commonly used as a tensioning device in reinforced concrete. Besides its functional purpose, it was used for metal mural works of the pseudo-socialistic era. These works, with their false optimistic scenes, decorated firewalls of buildings. Also, the well known home made objects of that era, like flower-racks, window grids, and fence ornaments used this material. These objects were typical examples of the DIY diversity in the socialist lack-economy. Here we collect 'useful / APPLIED' and 'useless / PUBLIC' steel-based DRAWINGS, not necessarily focusing only on rebar.
