The International High-Rise Award is regarded as one of the world’s most important architecture prizes for high-rise buildings.

Richly illustrated, this volume reveals how these aspects have been achieved in a wide range of projects from around the world. Diverse in style, they all combine sustainability, external form, and internal spatial quality with social aspects to create exemplary designs that point the way to the future. Drawing on a wealth of plans and photographs, Best High Rises 2026–27 offers comprehensive insights into these exciting projects.
