They are indeed very nice!

[bixel 1,223]

OoOOoooooOOOOoooHH So nice!!!! These need to be done by somebody...hrmm.

[hdorriker 190]

I like them alot. This pretty much sums up my favorite approach to postmodern skyscrapers and highrises.

wow i never knew Warsaw had such a banging skyline

I guess chicago and Warsaw have more in common

than I thought.

[SC4Noobie 5]

Some of those are real nice! I really like the TP SA Tower, it would be real awsome if someone BATted it.

[lrfox 2]

Some of them resemble American Buildings.... Oxford looks similar to the Wells Fargo in Portland, OR and Intraco looks a lot like the Han***** in Boston. I wonder which ones (and if) isnpired the others. Nice skyline though never would have guessed Warsaw had anything like that.

Those towers would be great to have in a modern sc.

CHeck this site here! http://home.hetnet.nl/~tadebruijn/-warsaw/warsaw.html

I remember coming across Warsaws skyline accidently when I was searching for stuff on google... I was pleasanty surprised and with the TP SA Tower especially. I do think Warsaw is one of Europes most up and coming cities, It seems to be going from strength to strength since Poland joined the EU.

[PavSek 1]

Wow! I'm glad you all like it!

aleking - Yeah But Warsaw will never have so many skycrapers as Chicago!

SC4Noobie -I also think TP SA Tower is one of the bests...It's really modern.

lrfox - Really?? Oh.. I didn't know about it!

bixel - That's really nice site...You can also see te highest,  and the oldest skycraper in Poland...Palace of Culture and Science. I hate it so much!

El Burro - Yes! That's right. Warsaw has the biggest skycrapers in eastern and central Europe...And of course EU helps Warsaw to become more stronger and more beautiful city.

Now some new photos of Warsaw!

Great photo! I love it

Second really nice image

Warsaw by night

Warsaw little skyline...We can also see the construction of the most modern building in Warsaw - Golden Tearraces.

Uh lala

You like it too, don't you??

Now, Golden Terraces. It's now under construction, but soon it'll be finished.

From the construction...

More photos soon!

[bixel 1,223]

well I started work on the Intraco....just a beginning

[____----____ 37]

bixel has taken a liking

[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

I call the marriott! The marriot is mine

Edit: I do actually want to BAT that when i finish my 40/50 Bank Street, which should be tonight (im working on the roof now)

[PavSek 1]

Hhaha....Asian city in Central Europe I'm glad that bixel is working on Intraco. I hope it'll be great!

interesting stuff

[Barbarossa 51]

I love Warsaw... It does have a lot of nice buildings. I think it would be hilarious if someone BAT'ed the Palace of Culture... commie architecture at its best... so ugly, but so imposing.

I think Poland is sadly disregarded. Krakow (Cracow) looks even better, only there aren't any skyscrapers. But the Rynek (town square) is phenomenal. I believe it is one of, if not THE, largest city plazas in Europe. The Sukiennice and the Kosciol Mariacki would challenge even the Koln/Cologne Cathedral for beauty.

after doing some research WWII may have taken out a lot of historic

Warsaw but with the fall of communism the city really seems to be taking

off in some pretty amazing ways keep the pics coming

[Barbarossa 51]

The Nazis systematically destroyed Warsaw building by building while the "friendly" Russians sat on the other side of the Vistula (Wisla) and watched and waited. They leveled more than 80% of the city. The Russians only "came to the resuce" after the city was wasted.

What is really interesting is that the Warsaw Old Town was almost completely rebuilt using photos and paintings, and the original bricks (from all of the debris). There is now a nicely rebuilt Old Town, it is just unfortunate that the entire city wasn't rebuilt the same way... the existing Old Town is much smaller than the original.

Allright Dudes

[bixel 1,223]

If you post cool buildings...They will build them...

[Barbarossa 51]

Looks great, Ill Tonkso! I would only comment that the lettering on the side of the building should say LOT, not LDT. A simple error. LOT is the national airline for Poland.

[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

Ah thanks barb

Rynek in Cracow is propably the biggest in the Europe. Wawel is also really beautiful...I'm glad you like Poland And, yes. It would be nice if someone bat'ed The palace in Warsaw. I don't really like it, but it's one of the symbols of Poland...

Yeah, that's right. LOT means "Flight"

Soon new pics! Maybe I'll post some pics of Rynek in Warsaw and The Palace of Culture...

[XDesign_Team 49]

There are four releases of Warsaw Skyscrapers: Warsaw financial center by kris123, Intraco II (Oxford tower) by kris123, And my releases without bases; Mariott nad Oxford tower. I also not finished rondo 1 (I finished this on a construction...)...

Hmmm... I'm waiting for Intraco Ain't true that is beautiful?

Somebody would BAT Palace Of culture And Science!

Dobry temacik, PavSek

I've been living in a barrel! I didn't know that Warsaw has so many real skyscarpers. But now I know. Now my images of small-rise historic, medieval city is ruined and is replaced by a modern european city.

[PavSek 1]

XDesign - Dzieki! Yeah...Someone would BAT it...Maybe....You?

Krio - Hahaha Yeah Warsaw is quite modern city. It has a lot of nice skycrapers.

Today I'll post pics of Palace, Rynek, and some famous monuments! Some "old Warsaw"

[bixel 1,223]

Small update! enjoy!

[mcarch 15]

I'm glad this is taking off. I've noticed some Warsaw buildings on the STEX, but I could never get them to work! So I'm glad this is chuggin along! Yippie!

Wow those are some awesome buildings. I didn't know warsaw had such a skyline which is strange because i've been there (I was only 10 at the time). All I remember of warsaw and krakow are historic buildings and large squares. The only tall buildings I rememeber were in sczeczin where we stayed in a tall, modern hotel (I can't remember what it was called). I guess my memory isn't very good.
