The paper describes research challenges of aesthetic design of the tall structures of contemporary cityscape and is based on the analysis of dynamic 'vertical' transformation of the capital of Poland where the coexistence of two different landmark clusters is visible - historical and modern. They are followed by important symbolic values - e.g. reconstruction, ideology, freedom and modernity. Different forms and qualities related to tall structures in Warsaw - among them over 70 skyscrapers - allows to formulate up-to-day conclusions on the perception and design of very high objects in the context of the 'horizontal' cityscape. The paper proposes redefined approach to the aesthetic design of rising metropolises and return in creation of monumental and contrasted space to harmony and finesse - values that in design context can correspond to Japanese term 'Wa' [1] - with complex methodology based on perception theory, social psychology, local identity and digital 3D modeling. |
