never seen this...............................

why the xxx..........................???

what you can see in the pic is just the front part of a building which is under restoration......................there is nothing behind just scaffolding and some other structural supports.................the boards displayed in x-shape are used to reinforce the frame of windows...................some of them are so badly damaged that they may literally crumble down if no support is added................
