4 About the CTBUH Awards

The CTBUH annual Awards Program recognizes projects and individuals that have made extraordinary contributions to the advancement of tall buildings and the urban environment, and that achieve sustainability at the highest and broadest level. The objective is to deliver a comprehensive and sophisticated view of these important buildings, spaces, and technologies, while advocating for improvements in every aspect of their performance, especially those that have the greatest effect on the people who use them each day. This means that the buildings highlighted are often not the tallest in a given year, but represent the best qualities and innovations in the typology. Dakis Joannou, CEO of Nice Day Developments (left) with his architect Jean Nouvel, Founder of Ateliers Jean Nouvel (right), receive the Best Tall Building Europe Award for White Walls at the CTBUH 2016 Conference. The Council initiated this program in 2001, with the creation of the Lynn S. Beedle Lifetime Achievement Award, later adding the Fazlur R. Khan Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004. It began recognizing the team achievement in tall building projects by issuing Best Tall Building awards in 2007.

Celebration of the award winning projects is recognized through the annual Tall + Urban Innovation Conference, where Award of Excellence Winners in each award category present their projects for live judging in front of an international audience. Overall Category Winners are selected during the event and awards are conferred at the Ceremony & Dinner held at the close of the event.
