Zaha Hadid among finalists for Scandinavia's tallest skyscraper in Gothenburg, Sweden

It's no surprise that the stakes are high to design the Gothenburg tower in Sweden, a mixed-use tower that will be the tallest building in the Nordic region. Swedish construction company SERNEKE initiated the idea of the skyscraper.

The well-known finalists surely make up a competitive group for the last round. They are:

• SOM
• Ian Simpson Architects
• Zaha Hadid Architects

Each team submitted their proposal under anonymity to the jury. The winner will be announced on June 17.
