Several Canadian projects are among the winners of this year’s Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) Annual Awards.
The CTBUH Annual Awards program recognizes projects, practices, and individuals that have made contributions to the advancement of tall buildings and urban environment, and that achieve sustainability and human well-being at the highest level across 15 categories.
Award-winning projects are recognized at the annual CTBUH International Conference, where Award of Excellence winners in each category present their projects to an international audience and live juries.
“The objective is to deliver a comprehensive and sophisticated view of these important buildings, spaces, actions, and technologies, while advocating for improvements in every aspect of their performance, especially those that have the greatest impact on the people who use them each day,” reads CTBUH’s website. “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.”
The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat began its annual awards program in 2002 with the creation of the Lynn S. Beedle Lifetime Achievement Award, and later added the Fazlur R. Khan Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004. Recognition of team achievement in tall building projects began in 2007 with the introduction of the Best Tall Building suite of awards.
The awards program has continued to expand to address specific industry developments and recognize buildings, innovations, and individuals that are pushing the industry forward.
