The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) is the
world's foremost authority on tall buildings. This book chronicles
the annual awards process, in which the CTBUH recognizes
outstanding tall buildings and design innovations that advance the
potential of integrated sustainability in cities across the world.
One winner is chosen from each of four geographical regions
(Americas, Asia & Australasia, Europe, and Middle East &
Africa). The title of overall Best Tall Building Worldwide is then
presented to one of the four regional winners. Additionally, the
Urban Habitat Award recognizes significant contributions to the
urban realm, in connection with tall buildings. The 10 Year Award
recognizes proven value and performance (across one or more of a
wide range of criteria) after a building has been complete and in
operation for at least a decade. The CTBUH Innovation Award
recognizes a specific area of recent innovation in the tall
building industry that has been incorporated into the design of, or
significantly tested in, the construction, operation, or
refurbishment of a tall building project. The Performance Award
recognizes a building with proven value and performance over a
minimum of three years. The CTBUH also gives two annual Lifetime
Achievement awards to individuals who have made a significant
contribution to the design or technical advancement of tall
buildings. More than an awards book, this volume serves as a global
overview of tall building construction and activity in a given
year, providing in-depth description of the buildings' design and
significance and accompanied by stunning images, detailed drawings
and plans. The book also features the official current list of the
"100 Tallest Buildings in the World," as the CTBUH is the
internationally recognized official arbiter of tall building
height. This book provides fascinating and inspiring reading for
all those interested in the planning, design, and construction of
tall buildings.

any substance to the legend - before Sir Henry Baskerville, newly
arrived from America to claim his inheritance, also falls prey to

(1942), mysterious wireless broadcasts - apparently from Nazi
