Punktowce Piekary, High-rise complex in central Poznań, Poland
Punktowce Piekary is a high-rise complex in central Poznań consisting of three connected buildings reaching about 56 meters in height. The structure includes two rectangular towers and a T-shaped central unit that form a cohesive block.
Construction of this housing complex began in 1966 and was completed in 1968, with the buildings originally serving as offices for the energy and construction sectors. The complex emerged as part of a larger urban planning vision for the Piekary district.
The towers display the geometric language of post-war modernism in Poland, with clean lines and concrete surfaces that continue to shape the city's appearance today. They show how architects of that era sought to combine function with a sense of openness and scale.
The buildings are located centrally and are easily accessible by public transportation and on foot. Visitors can freely explore the exterior facade and public space surrounding the complex.
The complex was originally part of an ambitious but ultimately unrealized traffic project called Trasa Piekary, which aimed to create a north-south connection through the city. This failed infrastructure project remains little known today, though it shaped urban development thinking in the 1960s.
