Libeskind's Złota 44 shares some architectural ideas with our L Tower like the cladding patterns:

Warsaw is getting some great skyscrapers at around 200m tall. Since so much of the city was destroyed in WWII, it would be interesting if they rebuilt the urban parts of the city in the modern North American fashion with skyscrapers and pedestrian-oriented streets. Many streets are quite broad for modern traffic flow and lined with parking areas and communist blocks. It'll never be a historic metropolitan city like Vienna or Paris because of its extensive destruction in WWII, but it could be so much better.

It's interesting how there looks to be so much space for pedestrians in the foreground without actually looking like a place that pedestrians would want to be. I don't know much about Warsaw though, the Libeskind certainly appears to be a big change to their skyline.
