The nominated buildings for the International High-Rise Award 2022/23 have been chosen: The German Architecture Museum (DAM) has selected them from over 1,000 new high-rise buildings from the past two years worldwide. The five finalists from this group will be announced in the fall. The winner of the International Highrise Award will be chosen on November 8, 2022 in the Paulskirche in Frankfurt am Main.
Projects from 13 countries were nominated for the International Highrise Award 2022/23. 34 skyscrapers are represented on four continents. Four buildings have been nominated in Europe, two of them in Germany: One and Senckenberg Quartier, both in Frankfurt am Main. Similar to two years ago, a significant decline in completions could be observed worldwide. Delays have occurred in many countries due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related supply chain issues and labor shortages.

Nevertheless, as in previous years, nowhere else in the world have so many high-rise buildings been built as in China. Approximately every third building with a height of at least 100 meters is built there. In the meantime, local architectural offices are increasingly coming into play. But the high-rise typology is also steadily establishing itself in all other parts of the world, as a look at the nominated buildings makes clear.
Geographical breakdown of the 34 nominees:
| 9x China 8x United States 2x Canada |
2x Japan 2x Saudi Arabia 1x Singapore 1x Sri Lanka 1x South Korea |
2x Germany 1x Great Britain 1x Austria |
| 3x Australia | 1x Algeria |
The International High-Rise Prize is awarded every two years for a high-rise building that combines exemplary sustainability, exterior design and interior spatial qualities as well as social and urban planning aspects into an exemplary design. Other criteria are innovative construction technology and cost-effectiveness. The International High-Rise Award is considered one of the world’s most important architecture awards for high-rise buildings. It is aimed at architects and builders whose buildings are at least 100 meters high and have been completed in the past two years. Since 2004, the prize has been awarded and awarded jointly by the City of Frankfurt am Main, the German Architecture Museum (DAM) and DekaBank. Since the beginning of the millennium, it has been part of the worldwide boom in the architectural parade discipline of the 21st century. In November 2022, the IHP will be awarded for the tenth time and is thus celebrating an anniversary.
