The Cedet, originally Central Department Store (Polish: Centralny Dom Towarowy, CDT)[a] is a modernist building, originally a department store, currently an office building, in Warsaw, Poland. It was designed by architects Zbigniew Ihnatowicz and Jerzy Romański and built between 1948 and 1952. Distinct from socialist realism architecture built at the time and proclaimed as aesthetic doctrine in 1949 by communist rule in Poland, the CDT building aroused controversy. Between 2014 and 2018 it underwent major rebuild by private investor who bought it in 2013, which received unfavourable opinions from the architecture community, but was widely acclaimed by the public.[1][2]
