The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) recently announced the winners for Best Tall Buildings of 2014.
A press release from the council says the buildings were judged based on a project's "contribution to the advancement of tall buildings and the urban environment", and for "achieving sustainability at the broadest level".
Moreover, other factors such as"eccentric shapes, new programs and uses [that] challenge traditional perceptions of tall buildings" or greenery at height influenced the panel's decision.
The four regional winners are: The Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt Federal Building, Portland, USA (Americas); One Central Park, Sydney, Australia (Asia & Australia); De Rotterdam, Rotterdam, Netehrlands (Europe); and Cayan Tower, Dubai, UAE (Middle East & Africa).
An overall winner for the “Best Tall Building Worldwide” will be named during the CTBUH 13th Annual Awards Symposium at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago on November 6.
