CRACOW | Poland
Capital High Towers [2 x 311m]

http://www.katalog.mampsa.pl/img/polska/hodowcy_mapa_krakow.jpg

Najwyższe wieżowce w Europie mogą powstać na obrzeżach Krakowa. Jest już działka, projekt i zainteresowanie inwestorów. Nie ma jeszcze żadnych decyzji, ale magistrat pokazał już makietę firmy Capital High na oficjalnym stoisku miasta na targach w Cannes.
2 x 311 metrów, 9 kilometrów od centrum Krakowa - tak w największym skrócie wygląda projekt Arkadiusza Nagięcia. Przedsiębiorca, który do tej pory zajmował się projektowaniem hal fabrycznych, zapragnął zdobyć dla miasta nie byle jaki tytuł - chce zbudować najwyższe wieżowce w Europie i to od razu dwa.

WHAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!

actually, I'm a bit shocked

There is a snowball's chance in hell this is going to be build but it was nice to see Kraków in the supertalls section as the only city in Poland :D

Chance = 0,0000001% + Krakow = probably won't get buit = Vision? :D

Those are some really shoddy looking renders, as if the virtual camera is out of focus.

Nice try, but it's just an illusion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkH6apsRQWs) ;)

^^
Not an illusion, it's a fantasy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy8RTBvB0cg)

Dont ruin the beautiful silhouette of the magic city of Krakow.

:ohno:

No worries, this proposed location isn't even in the city itself, 9 km from the center means it's actually outside the inner ring, near the A4 motorway. So you could see the buildings from the Main Square but you wouldn't be able to see the Main Square from the buildings themselves :D

haha if it was build it would be the second supertall twin structure after paris, awesome x)

not possible, why would anyone build and pay for a tall building when grounds are relatively cheap in this location..i think something like Cracow Bussiness Park is more possible.

Impossible - Cracow shouldn't be a second Warsaw, and destroy great historical landscape.

^^ Building skyscrapers does not have to ruin the historical part of a city, just look at Paris. Same thing with these two - they are far from the city center. It doesn't really matter though - there is no chance these will ever get built.

Oh, an krkseg1ops, hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Warsaw already made it into the supertall section before (with the fatamorgana proposal by orco: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=596271 ). No bonus ;)

^^

budowa tak wysokich obiektów w panoramie Krakowa mogłaby skutkować wykreśleniem Starego Miasta z listy dziedzictwa UNESCO.

This may not be a bad idea just like La Defense in Paris and it is outside of UNESCO's protective zone for old Krakow. Go for it.

They look like they are going to fall over.

Well, I wouldn't worry too much. The way things get built (NOT!) in Krakow we will never see any skyscrapers in the city and to be honest with you, on this ocasion I wish they were never built.

Beautiful building, if Warsaw's spire would start being u/c, this would make a 2nd supertall in Poland as far as I know, fair play to them :)

thanks a lot dino, those renders look so much better x)

^^ Yes and I really don't think 300 meters in such location would ruin any view on the historic parts of town. This is a brilliant idea to start the La Defense of Kraków :)

Good looking buildings, and damn tall as well for Europe.

They are miles and miles from the old city, so no problem imo.

why Krakow , krakow is a beautiful polish historical city . Build it in the commerce centre Warsaw . Warsaw skyline is becoming pretty impressive , these would make a great addition.

I find this project is similar to Tour hermitage (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=634777)

i think they did copy paste and hoped nobody noticed LOL

remember Petronas TWIN Towers?

Chance = 0,0000001% + Krakow = probably won't get buit = Vision? :D

More like 0,00%.

Warsaw Spire won't be a supertall - it is going to be 220m tall.

remember Petronas TWIN Towers?
I think he was referring solely to Europe. We all know about famous supertall twins overseas, one of them far more famous than the Petronas Towers, even.

This is actually not even a project. They are dim renderings presenting something, which is neither related to the city nor the current situation. There should be an intention or a logic purpose comming from the design stage to create the shape like this.

The jury's out until I see a realistic cladding scheme applied to these massing models.

So what happend? Is it still a propose or what??? :nuts:

It's dead.

So what happend? Is it still a propose or what??? :nuts:

It was SF (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fiction), nothing more :).

:ohno: Awh, to bad.
