Building Supertall

Ten supertall towers recently competed or under construction

The ten supertalls we've compiled snapshots on are not a comprehensive listing of all 300m+ towers being built. Instead these are towers that we deem as important in some aspect, be it height, location or form. In regards to the latter, there is an apparent predilection for more aerodynamic forms with curves and apertures for wind, indicative of the conditions supertalls must consider as well as considerations of sustainability. It's an exciting time to be a fan of tall buildings.
