Cracovia · January 29th, 2008, 07:12 PM

The Developement company in charge of the project in Warsaw has said that it will get in contact with the architecht and ask him to change his project or they may appeal or something like that, any way from what they said to the Media their not happy

I get why though look its so similar and the warsaw project was published first

Construction dates have been changed
construction should now start in 2009 and the tower would be delivered in 2011 (instead of 2013)
Height is still 166m

and please , polish people stop trolling on this thread.
There are thousands of towers which looks similar in the world .

That is a very cool name. Apparentely the design brief called for a building that "seized the day" - check out this article from designbuild-network.com.

So how high will the building be if Robin Williams gets it to stand on top of a desk?

The foundation stone was to be laid today by the Ecology minister Jean-Louis Borloo but the Tour Carpe Diem's inauguration finally had to be postponed owing to the pension reform.

Piling is drawing to a close now, construction should be starting shortly. You can see that bulldozers are finishing to model the ground as well.
