Bilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) While most high-rise buildings continue to be built in China and the USA, Australia and especially Singapore have recently emerged as hotspots for high-rise architecture. Furthermore, the trend toward mixed-use skyscrapers, which have repeatedly been among the finalists of The International High-Rise Award since 2014, continues unabated. Former specific features such as extensive greening or the construction of high-rise clusters have long since become standard. Due to the shortage of suitable building sites and growing environmental awareness, existing buildings are increasingly coming into focus in high-rise construction. Best High-Rises 2024/25 presents thirty-two of the most exciting recently completed high-rise projects that combine sustainability, external form, internal spatial qualities, and social aspects into exemplary designs that point the way to the future. Each of these projects is comprehensively presented with photos and plans. The International High-Rise Award is presented every two years. Previous winners include 3XN (2022), OMA (2020), Benjamín Romano (2018), BIG (2016), Stefano Boeri (2014), Ingenhoven Architects (2012), WOHA (2010), and Foster + Partners (2008). 20 years of The International High-Rise Award 32 of the most interesting recent high-rise projects worldwide in texts, plans, and photos New focus: conversion of existing high-rises

Planetare Urbanisierungsprozesse haben unser Verständnis von Stadt und Urbanismus grundlegend verändert. Dennoch bleiben Planungsansätze häufig in einem Dualismus von Stadt und Land verhaftet, der die komplexen Wechselbeziehungen und materiellen Ströme von Waren und Menschen in diesen immer stärker vernetzten Stadt-Land-Regionen nicht abbildet.Das Handbuch Urban-Rural Assembly versammelt Analysen und Best Practices am Beispiel von sich dynamisch transformierenden Reallaboren in einer Stadt-Land Region im Osten Chinas. Mithilfe von innovativen Methoden und Analysekonzepten wird diese Region multiperspektivisch erfasst, um so wichtige Ansatzpunkte für eine klimafreundliche und sozial gerechte Transformation zu erreichen. Darüber hinaus bietet es Handlungsanleitungen für die kollaborative Erforschung, Leitbildentwicklung und Planung verschiedener Stadt-Land-Regionen weltweit.
