The Best New Tall Buildings On The Planet
The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitats (CTBUH) recently announced the winners of its Best Tall Buildings Worldwide contest.
They declared four regional winners, as well as several finalists. An overall winner will announced on November 6.
The qualities they’re looking for are a strong sustainability commitment, adding to the urban environment, and challenging the traditional perceptions of tall buildings.
The Council received 88 entries from around the world for the awards with the the largest entries from Asia and Europe.
WINNER (Asia & Australasia): One Central Park, Sydney. The most unique part of this 384-foot-tall residential building is the growth of plants around the outside, which the architects use for shading and to direct sunlight to save energy.
