Artykuł obejmuje rozważania nad tożsamością miasta w ujęciu tradycyjnym oraz współczesnym. Wyszczególniono kilka podstawowych wariantów wpisania budynków współczesnych w istniejący kontekst przestrzenny oraz przeanalizowano wybrane przykłady architektury współczesnej wpływające na zmianę wizerunku miasta. Wiele obiektów powstałych w ostatnich latach, mimo że nie nawiązują do tradycji lokalnych, staje się symbolami miejsca, unikatowymi na skalę światową. „Ekstremalne" budynki przyczyniają się do powstawania pojęcia nowej tożsamości miasta, która spełnia obecne oczekiwania mieszkańców oraz turystów.

This article comprises dissertations on the identity of a city from traditional and contemporary perspective. The identity of a city consists of elements which are unique, characteristic, tradition-related and invariable in their spatial structure. It is assumed that it possible to identify with the city mainly thanks to historic quarter buildings, which have been the heart of the city for centuries. Many contemporary architectural and urban activities go in a completely different direction than traditionally understood building of the identity of the city space. More and more often modern architecture buildings, mainly those extreme and exceptional ones, give the citizens an opportunity to identify with a district, a city or a region. The notion of identity evolves with the change of social and cultural needs, and with technical and technological development. Modern buildings (mostly) constituting a form in itself separated from local traditions, become a part of a global identity trend. Most modern buildings both suit and not suit any place. This article presents a few basic variants of suiting modern buildings into an existing spatial context and analyses some examples of modern architecture which influence the change of a city image. Many recently erected buildings, although not referring to the local traditions, become world unique symbols of a city. It can be concluded that there is a 'modern identity' of places connected with new urban-architectural creations. One can notice a tendency that original buildings, from the group of the representative ones, are commissioned and built in different cities sometimes even in the areas of historical value, which is meant to increase the rank of these spaces. It is reflected in the greatest architects building in different places all around the world. In Poland the sign of this trend is the realization of Norman Foster's Biurowiec Metropolitan in Warsaw from 2003, the building of Złota 44 office block by Daniel Libeskind in Warsaw, and the project Korona Tower created for Poznań also by Libeskind. Together with the change of trends, the need for planning areas for new buildings in the existing city spaces seems to be justified. Excellent European examples are La Defense district in Paris and AZCA in Madrid linked with the historic centre of these cities but not interfering directly in their spatial shape.
