This typology of building, cool as it is, isn't actually that unusual—they can be found in most of Ukraine's kolkhozy (Soviet collective farms). And they're not just for potato-sorting—the same cantilevered structures are also used as granaries and fertilizer storage facilities. https://twitter.com/doctorow/status/1316521542373699584

The concrete block at the end forms the counterweight of the structure, creating the impression it floats over the fields. https://explorerrowan.tumblr.com/post/631995705447317504/dequalized-an-abandoned-potato-sorting-station
