Take a look at the world's first 'upcycled' skyscraper that's been crowned building of the year
The prize is the latest honour for Quay Quarter Tower, which has been dubbed the world's first"upcycled skyscraper" and a more sustainable solution to high-rise construction.
Its owner, AMP Capital, wanted a more eye-catching and energy-efficient building that could meet the needs of tenants in the 21st century, but was also concerned about the environmental impact of demolishing the structure. Construction began in early 2018 and was completed earlier this year. Take a look at the building here. Kim Herforth Nielsen, founder of 3XN, said her team produced at least 30 sketches while developing the design, as well as numerous 3D digitalizations and physical models.
The World Architecture Forum judging panel said the"vertical village" created a"sense of community", with the stacked atriums allowing"exceptional views, while also allowing daylight deep into each floor","The winner was commissioned to provide a building on a world-class site, and to retain a huge proportion of an existing 50-year-old commercial tower," the forum's director, Paul Finch said, per the report.
