Year: 1975. Height: 92 m.
You can see the unfinished Szkieletor skyscraper in the heart of Krakow. Its height is 92 meters. It was planned before the start of construction that this skyscraper would be the tallest not only in Krakow but also in Poland as a whole. Construction of the skyscraper began in 1975. But it had to be suspended due to the economic crisis. It broke out in the country in 1981. The competition for the skyscraper project was announced in Poland three years before the start of its construction. A group of architects led by Zdislav Arkat became the winner of the competition.
The project of a unique frame building was developed by them. Its height was supposed to be more than a hundred meters after construction. It was planned to place the congress hall in a high-rise building after completion. Its capacity was supposed to be about 500 seats. Part of the building was to be the location of various offices. It was also planned to open several restaurants and bars in the skyscraper.
It was planned to open hotels in the skyscraper. It was supposed to be the most innovative platform in the country. It was intended to be used for various business and scientific events. The creators managed to successfully implement only the initial stage of the project. The steel frame was built for a high-rise building. It was built completely in 1979. The frame has remained unchanged ever since. It is actively used for placing various advertising banners. Many architectural firms and companies have sought to proceed with further implementation of the project in recent years. But construction was never resumed.
