Ściana Wschodnia, Modernist architectural complex in Śródmieście, Poland

The Eastern Wall complex consists of three skyscrapers, eight lower buildings, and four department stores along Marszałkowska Street in Warsaw.

The complex emerged between 1962 and 1969 following architect Zbigniew Karpiński's design, replacing buildings destroyed during the Warsaw Uprising of 1944.

The modernist structure introduced Warsaw residents to contemporary retail spaces with its pedestrian passages and department stores during the 1960s.

The buildings contain 280,000 cubic meters of retail space, 200,000 cubic meters of residential areas, and 75,000 cubic meters of office facilities.

The development introduced the first modern shopping passage in Poland, drawing inspiration from Rotterdam's Lijnbaan commercial district.
