CITAB and CTBUH Announce Inaugural 2016 China Tall Building Award Recipients

February 25, 2016, SHANGHAI – The China International Exchange Committee for Tall Buildings (CITAB) and the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) are pleased to announce the award recipients for the inaugural CITAB-CTBUH 2016 China Tall Building Awards. With the support of the Architectural Society of China and the Architectural Society of China Shanghai, the first year of this regionally focused awards program was very successful, with numerous high-quality projects entering into the running under six categories of recognition.

Based on the successful CTBUH worldwide tall building awards program, the CITAB-CTBUH China Tall Building Awards Program recognizes the teams responsible for the most successfully executed high-rise projects in China. With an eye for innovative design, sustainability considerations, construction achievements, professional leadership, and contributions to the urban habitat, the China Awards Jury – a group of experts in the tall building industry jointly appointed by CTBUH and CITAB – selected award recipients that reflect the very best that the country has to offer.

The four Excellence Award recipients under the Best Tall Building China category will be considered to receive the Overall 2016 Best Tall Building China Award at the inaugural China Awards Symposium, Dinner and Ceremony event in Shanghai, May 2016. More details on this to come soon.

bitat

The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) is the world’s leading resource for professionals focused on the inception, design, construction, and operation of tall buildings and future cities. A not-for-profit organization, founded in 1969 and based at Chicago’s Illinois Institute of Technology, CTBUH has an Asia Headquarters office at Tongji University, Shanghai, and a Research Office at Iuav University, Venice, Italy. CTBUH facilitates the exchange of the latest knowledge available on tall buildings through publications, research, events, working groups, web resources, and its extensive network of international representatives. The CTBUH also developed the international standards for measuring tall building height and is recognized as the arbiter for bestowing such designations as “The World’s Tallest Building.”

China International Exchange Committee for Tall Buildings

The China International Exchange Committee for Tall Buildings (CITAB) was founded on September 30, 2013 by Tongji University. It is an academic organization established under the Architects’ Chapter of the Architectural Society of China. The Committee intends to reinforce the communications between China’s planning, design, construction, material, and management professionals. CITAB also links companies and professionals engaged in work on tall buildings with related international professional organizations and experts, in order to promote healthy development of China’s high-rise buildings, and to enhance China’s international influence in the field of tall buildings.
