While most high-rise buildings continue to be built in China and the USA, Australia and especially Singapore have recently emerged as hotspots for high-rise architecture. Furthermore, the trend toward mixed-use skyscrapers, which have repeatedly been among the finalists of The International High-Rise Award since 2014, continues unabated. Former specific features such as extensive greening or the construction of high-rise clusters have long since become standard. Due to the shortage of suitable building sites and growing environmental awareness, existing buildings are increasingly coming into focus in high-rise construction. Best High-Rises 2024/25 presents 31 of the most exciting recently completed high-rise projects that combine sustainability, external form and internal spatial qualities, and social aspects into exemplary designs that point the way to the future. The exhibition presents all nominated buildings. The winning project and the finalists are documented in the show by means of models, large-scale photos, drawings, texts and films. The International Highrise Award is awarded every two years and is considered one of the world’s most important architectural prizes for high-rise buildings. Since 2004, it has been jointly awarded by the City of Frankfurt am Main, the Deutsches Architekturmuseum (DAM) and DekaBank, and this year is the eleventh time it has been presented.
