Building of the Year

Cult architectural website, Bryła, have announced the result of their annual Building of the Year poll, with Poznań’s Bałtyk tower scooping the coveted top spot.

Designed by Dutch firm MVRDV, the 16-storey mixed-use skyscraper is comprised of several cascading terraces, with the structure’s sloping form changing with every angle.

The capital fared less well in the voting, with its two nominees – the residential block at Sprzeczna 4 and the new boulevards on the left side of the Wisła – finishing sixth and seventh respectively.
