Thirty recently built skyscrapers from around the world are celebrated by the 10th anniversary of the International High-Rise Awards.

As proven by this compendium of the best in high-rise architecture from the past two years, sustainability, energy, cost efficiency, and user friendly design can distinguish a run-of-the-mill skyscraper from a landmark building.
