Maizes Skyscrapers, Residential towers in Osiedle Tysiąclecia, Katowice, Poland.
The three identical towers rise 82 meters into the sky, featuring distinct geometric patterns across their concrete facades and standing 24 floors tall.
Architect Henryk Buszko completed these residential buildings between 1988 and 1991, marking a significant period of urban development in post-communist Poland.
The local name Kukurydze, meaning corn in Polish, stems from the buildings' resemblance to corn cobs, reflecting their cylindrical shape and vertical features.
Each tower contains numerous residential apartments with direct access to public transportation, shopping centers, and recreational facilities in the surrounding neighborhood.
The three towers form a symmetrical triangle when viewed from above, creating a distinctive pattern that stands out among Katowice's architectural landscape.
