Architecture....

[ql]

I don't remember if somebody wrote here about that, but is anyone of you
interested in Polish architecture? Did you come across an interesting building
here? What impressed you the most?

Of course there are lovely and impressive buildings here. Even in Warsaw which
most people slag off as being grey and concrete there are some gems!

It's true that a lot of old buildings are neglected but some are still
beautiful and some soon will be (www.chlodna20.wordpress.com)

some of my favourites(in no particular order)

Szare domy (Rakowiecka/Akacjowa)
Śniadeckich 10
Chłodna 20

And what about other places? Upper Silesia? Modernistic architecture?

[gfunkallstars]

I don't know Upper Silesia although I've seen photos of interesting,
modernistic buildings there.

2 of the buildings i mentioned in my previous post are fine examples (in my
opinion) of modernism - the Feniks building in particular.
The same architect (Juliusz Żórawski) designed a few other lovely buildings in
Warsaw such as Dom Wedla on Madalinskiego (a real treasure.

I'm afraid I can't really comment in detail on other cities in Poland but in
Warsaw I like the buildings by Juliusz Zórawski, Romuald Gutt and Bohdan
Pniewski.
