Over the last 50 years, both the form of a European skyscraper and the social acceptance of such a tall building changed. Skyscrapers have become not only an integral part of the urban surrounding, but also icons of identification of some large cities. The importance of iconic architecture was appreciated after the construction of such objects as the Bilbao museum or the Kunsthaus in Graz. Developers identify the form of the building with a marketing advantage and cooperate with famous architects in order to design original high-rise buildings (Sterlitz 2005). In modern architecture, the originality is determined by the free, i.e. deviating from rules (Słownik Języka Polskiego 2012), form of the building. In searching for such form, architects play with inspirations: they refer to different styles and to unique local conditions. Even 25 years ago, a typical tall building would still be seen as an anonymous workplace. The latest projects are objects of public admiration, oftentimes acting as tourist attractions (Rees et al. 2013). The form of the high-rise building is mainly recognized and remembered. It should be noted that the free formation does not have to generate complex forms. A silhouette of a high-rise building can usually be reduced to a logo sketched with a few lines. Another way of the fixing specific skyscrapers in the public consciousness is giving them the unofficial names referring to their symbolic shapes, such as: The Cucumber (i.e. the skyscraper on 30 St. Mary Street in London), The Walkie-Talkie (20 Fenchurch Street building in London), The Cheese Grater (The Leadenhall Building in London), The Sail (building located on Złota 44 in Warsaw). It should also be noted that nicknaming a skyscraper is primarily fun for the recipients of architecture and the final result does not always reflect the intentions of the author. (original abstract)

Jednym z atutów współczesnego wieżowca jest oryginalna forma. Wyznacznikiem oryginalności jest swoboda, czyli odbieganie od reguł. Poszukując swobodnej formy architekci "bawią się" inspiracjami, m.in. "wchodzą" w dialog z klasycznym wyobrażeniem wieżowca, które zostaje zreinterpretowane lub wręcz zanegowane. Duży potencjał twórczy wiąże się ze sposobem zdefiniowania zależności formy i konstrukcji, która może prowadzić do wyeksponowania lub ukrycia struktury nośnej. (abstrakt oryginalny)
