Five architecture student projects take top prize at 2023 CTBUH Tall Building Design Competition
The 12th annual Student Tall Building Design Competition, organized by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), has announced this year's winning submissions. Consisting of two jury rounds, five winners were selected from a total of 25 semi-finalists. Students and student teams take home a cash prize and stipend for one representative from each team to attend this year's CTBUH Conference.According to the CTBUH, the competition's overall goal is "to shed new light on the meaning and value of tall buildings in modern society. The age of the tall building as a single iconic piece of sculpture, standing in isolation from its surroundings, is coming to an end. Designers have a responsibility to ensure that these permanent urban structures engender a future-oriented urban response to the greatest challenges of our time: unprecedented population growth; mass urbanization; climate change; environmental degradation; social, political, and economic change; and the rapid advance of myriad technical innovations." This year's competition theme focused on "Humanizing High Density – People, Nature & the Urban Realm."Learn more about the five winning projects below.
