The annual Tall + Urban Innovation Conference recently wrapped up after taking place in a virtual format this year. The event culminated in the announcement of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat's 2021 award winners across 29 award categories. 

For the coveted title of "Best Tall Building Worldwide," the jury selected Vancouver House designed by Bjarke Ingels Group in collaboration with Architect of Record DIALOG. The project went on to also win several other category titles, including Best Tall Building 100-199 Meters, Best Tall Residential or Hotel Building, and the Structural Engineering Award.

Best Tall Building Jury Chair Karl Fender praised Vancouver House as a "formally striking building brilliantly conceptualized to enhance its surroundings from a seemingly improbable development site."

Another BIG-designed Canadian building, Telus Sky in Calgary, won the title in the Best Tall Building 200-299 Meter category.

Take a look at the illustrious field of main category winners.
