Falowiec
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Polish word falowiec means 'wavy block' and it is a kind of building which has a wavy shape in its body and balcony. This type of building was built in Poland in the late 1960s and 1970s in the Polish city Gdańsk, where there are eight buildings of this type. Some buildings of this kind are also in Italy.
The best-known falowiec in Gdańsk has:
- 11 stories (10 plus the ground floor)
- nearly 6,000 occupants
- 4 segments (4 staircases in each segment of 110 apartments).
- a length of around 850m (2788f)
