While the work ethics behind constructing skyscrapers shouldn't be ignored, tall buildings are an architectural feat that will continue to capture the upward gazes and awe of many. Every year in the Best Tall Buildings awards, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat rounds up a jury of industry experts to select the best recent structures that have contributed greatly to advancing tall-building construction.
Compared to 88 entries last year, 2015 brought in 123 submissions. Out of the nominated projects, one winner was selected in the four regional categories:

Europe: Bosco Verticale, Milan, Italy
Architect: Boeri Studio
Middle East & Africa: Burj Mohammed Bin Rashid Tower, Abu Dhabi, UAE

Out of the four regional winners, only one will be crowned the “Best Tall Building Worldwide”, which will be officially announced at the CTBUH Annual Awards Symposium dinner at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago on November 12. The Symposium will feature a series of presentations from the owners and architects of each building.
