A United States-based architects organization has crowned the Shanghai
World Financial Center the best skyscraper completed in 2008, praising its
state-of-the-art design. The 492-meter tower - the world's second-tallest -
opened in August in Pudong's Lujiazui area and immediately became a landmark
feature of the Shanghai skyline.
The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban
Habitat, a Chicago-based organization supported by architects and engineers,
hosts the annual awards to honor the best skyscraper designs around the world as
well as remarkable professionals.
