thumb|Gdańsk's longest falowiec at Obrońców Wybrzeża street

Falowiec (plural: falowce; from the Polish word fala, wave) is a block of flats characterised by its length and wavy shape. This type of building was built in Poland in the late 1960s and 1970s in the city of Gdańsk, where there are eight buildings of this type. It is an example of post-war modernism in the PRL.
