JW 2012 Awards Chair Message architecture within urban centers. This year’s submissions celebrate the distinct art form of designing tall buildings, especially in terms of their connection to place and culture. Due to the fact that urban density is poised to boom globally with a shifting population, the success of these tall buildings is paramount to our changing world. Welcome to the Council’s 11th Annual Awards Ceremony & Dinner and congratulations to all of this year’s award winners and finalists! In a busy and frenetic world we so rarely have the time or opportunity to take pause, admire, and critique the accomplishments of others, and I am grateful to have been a part of this process by serving as the CTBUH Awards Chair. As a jury, we were committed to focusing our energy on the unique challenges and creative solutions that come with building skyscrapers, while also acknowledging the separate set of challenges that come with moderately tall buildings. The jury had a clear discussion of the unique challenges in designing tall buildings and the importance of beautiful This year’s submissions represented a remarkably varied body of exemplary architecture rising around the world. These towers reflect the progress we are making globally in designing buildings that perpetuate context-based design. My hope is that this trend of designing culturally specific and place-based buildings continues, while promoting and improving both the world’s urban centers and the health and well-being of its people. I wish you the pleasantest of evenings as we celebrate these award-winning projects!

V About the Awards The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat initiated its Awards Program in 2001, with the creation of the Lynn S. Beedle Lifetime Achievement Award. This inaugural award was bestowed to Lynn S. Beedle himself, who founded the CTBUH in 1969. Successive winners of this award have been individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to the advancement of tall buildings and the urban environment, following in the values and mission of Lynn S. Beedle. Two years later, the Fazlur R. Khan Lifetime Achievement Medal was introduced. This Lifetime Achievement Award was created to recognize an individual for his/her demonstrated excellence in technical design and/or research that has made a significant contribution to a discipline(s) for the design of tall buildings and the built urban environment. The Council began recognizing the team achievement in tall building projects by issuing Best Tall Building Awards in 2007, to give recognition to projects 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. It issues four regional awards each year (Americas, Asia & Australasia, Europe, and Middle East & Africa). In addition, from the four “regional” awards, one project is awarded the honor of overall Best Tall Building “Worldwide” which is announced on the night of the awards ceremony. This year the Council has introduced a new award, the CTBUH Innovation Award, which recognizes a specific area of recent innovation in a tall building project. n. Menara Felda. 1 Bligh Street.

The building opens up significantly at the ground level, providing abundant public space and an open, airy feeling. The porosity of the ground floor helps to activate a business district that was once lackluster, replacing it with actively used public programs. At the heart of the building lies a dramatic atrium. Capitalizing on Sydney’s mild climate, this full-height atrium, surrounding corridors, and meeting spaces off it are fully naturally ventilated. The atrium enhances visual communication for the building users “The dramatic, naturallyand maximizes ventilated central atrium access to daylight connects the office workers and fresh air. with nature at the inner depths Striking views of the harbor are amply of the plan, giving a sense provided at the of openness for the entire 15th floor winter garden and roof building.” levels, encouraging Werner Sobek, Juror, Werner Sobek Group outdoor activity.

The Palazzo Lombardia is a confident and controlled execution of an exuberant plan, and it does so while quietly integrating sustainable strategies that are proven in their approach; specifically the advancements made with the climate wall, allowing views and a connection to the environment while improving energy performance and glare control. The use of the flowing forms to create a grand, enclosed urban space is compelling for Milan, the city of the great Galleria. There is a quality to the form-making which feels biomimetic and allows for a unique transition to the tower from the urban street wall.
