Shanghai Tower Named Best Tall Building Worldwide

The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) named the Shanghai Tower in China the “Best Tall Building Worldwide” in November.

The iconic new landmark was chosen as winner out of 132 entries from 27 countries worldwide after a selection process that lasted a whole year.

The tallest building in China was chosen by the prestigious independent jury partly for its innovative design based on shikumen; a traditional Shanghainese vernacular housing style that blends indoor and outdoor space.

According to the Council, Shanghai Tower is both sustainable and people-oriented and as such represents the pinnacle of progressive skyscraper design.
