The research work was carried out in the following phases: pre-design, including analyses and studies, context analysis, data collection, and design phase including defining initial conceptual variants, developed conceptual variants, selection, and determination of the final variant of the concept of functional and spatial structure for further investment and design steps. The final solutions adopted in the described process in the realization of the complex and detailed execution designs were also indicated. Design research was done through iteration of solutions, critical analysis, and functional optimization. The final solution was the division of the stylobate part of the complex, following the pedestrian traffic analysis, into three investment parts and the introduction of a rich program of supplementary functions for the dominant office function. A complex program of supplementary functions: trade, entertainment and event space, medical functions, gastronomic parts.}, type={Article}, title={Research by design: architectural and structural solutions allowing the integration of the skyscraper complex with the urban space in Warsaw}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/129755/PDF/art02_int.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ace.2023.147645}, keywords={functional program, high-rise, public space, skyscraper, Warsaw}, }
