The biennial International Highrise Award specifies that an ideal contemporary tower should make exceptional use of aesthetics, design and technology, and show cost-effectiveness, sustainability and integration into town planning.

This album of the 2006 contenders honors foremost the winners, Jean Nouvel and Fermin Vasquez, who designed the Torre Agbar building in Barcelona. The Agbar Towers distinctive rounded crown had already earned it a nominee spot in Cabinet Magazines Most Phallic Building in the World Contest.

Here, the Highrise Awards more serious honor cites the buildings expressive shape, pulsating dynamism and a multi-layer outer skin that generates its varied and exciting appearance. Runners-up include Santiago Calatravas Turning Torso in Malmo, Sweden.
