Warsaw’s Skyscrapers in Public Awareness
The publication is dedicated to social perception of Warsaw’s skyscrapers, analysed on the basis of the results of extensive surveys and comments from experts who represent various science disciplines – both practitioners and theorists of the city: architects, urbanists, geographers, economists, art historians, urban planners, sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists, lawyers, architectural historians, designers, journalists, and environmental psychologists.
Its subject area includes several spatial and social science subdisciplines: urban geography, spatial management and planning, sociology of space, architecture, and urban planning. What is a significant and substantive distinguishing feature of the book is the fact that it situates the main issue – how Warsaw is built vertically – on three levels of considerations: locational, physiognomic, and functional, as well as in two aspects: objective (cataloguing and analysing skyscrapers in real urban context) and subjective (opinions of the users of the urban space about the high-rise buildings).
Keywords: skyscraper, high-rise, tower block, Warsaw.
