"To Po" is an author's book by Pavel Makov about the city of the future. Started as a reflection on the futuristic hypothesis that in the coming decades, states will lose their defining role, giving way to big cities, the book "Do Po" became an attempt to combine (oppose or reconcile) two different views of the space in which you live.
On one side is the general plan of the large city of Do Po, divided into 64 equal sections, none of which is repeated, and on the other side are the pages of a pocket notebook in which Makov sketched plans of real and imaginary cities with free development for several years.
In the book, printed in gravure printing, the districts of the city and the drawings from the notebook are translated into a vector image, located on different sides of the spread and intertwined with common paths. Finding himself at a crossroads, the reader finds himself in a borderland situation, which, according to Makov, actually defines the Place — the presence between reality and a dream. While only selected pages from Makov's personal notebook were included in the book, the tab with the map of the fictional city of Do Po became an integral part of the author's book of the same name.
