Warsaw’s iconic building reimagined in the style of world-famous architects

Polish artist Jacek Jabłoński used artificial intelligence to see what the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw would look like if it had been designed by Zaha Hadid or Frank Gehry.

The Palace of Culture and Science is a controversial yet iconic building in the Polish capital, built between 1952 and 1955 in the Socialist Realist style. The palace was a "gift of the Soviet people" to the Poles. But what if it had been designed not by the Soviet Lev Vladimirovich Rudnev, but by one of the world-famous architects? This fictitious possibility was investigated by Jacek Jabłoński.
