The World'S 25 Tallest Buildings Currently Under ConstructionAs the global population continues to rise, dense cities face mounting challenges in catering to the needs of billions of people living and working in urban areas. Architects have long explored the skyscraper typology as a solution to these challenges, integrating commercial spaces and public amenities within residential buildings to create all-inclusive experiences for tenants. Over the years, skyscrapers have evolved into multifaceted vertical communities that aim to address the complexities of urban living. Every year, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) ranks the tallest buildings worldwide, encompassing completed projects, those under construction, and proposed developments. In this updated 2024 article, ArchDaily presents a list of the 25 tallest buildings currently under construction, along with their expected completion dates. These skyscrapers showcase the latest innovations in architecture, engineering, and urban planning. + 28 Despite their potential to address urban challenges, skyscrapers remain a topic of contention. Governments worldwide have begun introducing regulations against their construction, citing concerns over environmental impact, urban aesthetics, and mental health implications for pedestrians. Nevertheless, the global appetite for vertical living and working spaces continues to fuel the rise of skyscrapers. Read on to discover the 25 tallest buildings under construction in 2024 and how they are shaping the skylines of tomorrow.

Goettsch Partners Reveals Design For Nashville'S Tallest Tower
arch daily
Goettsch Partners Reveals Design For Nashville'S Tallest TowerGoettsch Partners has just revealed the design for a new tower in Nashville, United States, which is set to become the city’s tallest structure. The building, named “Paramount,” will reach 750 feet across 60 stories, surpassing the current tallest, the 617-foot AT&T Building. Located in downtown Nashville, the Paramount will include 360 apartments, 140 condominiums, a 517-space parking garage, and a 60,000-square-foot expansion to the neighboring Downtown YMCA. + 6 The design by Goettsch Partners focuses on creating a prominent vertical element within the Nashville skyline. The tower’s structure is divided into three distinct sections—the base, shaft, and top—each contributing to its overall architectural identity. The building’s glass façade is made up of angled surfaces that reflect light in various directions, enhancing its verticality. The uppermost four floors will feature a “crown” of triangular glass elements, forming a diamond shape that distinguishes the top of the tower and houses the most exclusive residences. The tower's placement on the site is designed to maximize views from all directions while maintaining a distance from nearby developments, including the new Amazon headquarters and other residential towers. The ground floor features a 30-foot-tall glass lobby facing Church Street, creating a welcoming entrance. Resident amenities are spread across the ninth floor, featuring lounges, dining areas, fitness spaces, and an outdoor deck with a pool and cabanas. The 40th floor offers additional amenities for condominium residents, including a lounge, a dining room, and a bar area. The Paramount project took shape in 2021 when plans were made to expand and renovate the YMCA's downtown facility in Nashville. The development includes a five-story addition to the YMCA at the corner of Church Street and YMCA Way, alongside a 60-story residential tower. Excavation at the Paramount site is currently in progress, with full construction expected to start later this year and completion projected for 2027. In other similar news, Foster + Partners has recently revealed the design of a new 54-story mixed-use tower to take shape in Miami. Similarly, Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) has announced an expansive project to redevelop and refurbish the Foster + Partners designed 8 Canada Square building, also known as HSBC Tower, in Canary Wharf, London. Finally, The Price Tower, Frank Lloyd Wright's only high-rise and a cherished Bartlesville, Oklahoma landmark, is facing financial issues, with an October auction announced.

Foster + Partners Unveils Plans For 54-Story Skyscraper In Miami

Foster + Partners Unveils Plans For 54-Story Skyscraper In MiamiFoster + Partners has revealed the design of a new 54-story mixed-use tower to take shape in Miami. Set to become the new headquarters for the hedge fund Citadel, the tower is expected to feature 34 floors of office space and 212 hotel rooms on its upper levels, in addition to supporting retail spaces. In addition to Foster + Partners listed as the design architect, AAI Architects is the architect of record, and Field Operations is the landscape architect. The tower is expected to break ground in 2025, according to Citadel. + 5 Located in Miami's Brickell neighborhood, the 1,032-foot (314-meter) tall tower is expected to become the second tallest building in the city, surpassed only by the upcoming Waldorf Astoria Hotel and Residences designed by Carlos Ott. The skyscraper is part of a broader development initiative by Philadelphia's Gattuso Development Partners. The early conceptual renderings show a tapered design with a cap that marks the top of the building. Rounded corners and a louvered shading system contribute to creating a distinctive image. At ground level, the streetscape is animated with restaurants and retail spaces. The tower is also expected to accommodate comprehensive amenities, including conference facilities, a ballroom, a pool, fitness areas, and a spa. The tower’s tapered form unifies its various functions, enhances structural efficiency, and creates an elegant marker on the Miami skyline. An environmentally responsive facade draws on Florida’s vernacular architecture, with a louvered shading system to create a comfortable internal environment, while maximizing views out from this amazing location. - Nigel Dancey, Head of Studio, Foster + Partners On a similar note, OMA has recently revealed its design of a new residential tower in Miami Beach that optimizes views toward the ocean while ensuring comfortable urban living. Additionally, KPF’s “Tower 36,” a new skyscraper located at the northern entryway to Miami’s high-rise zone, has recently received planning approval. Kengo Kuma and Associates has also unveiled the designs of a new mixed-use project in Miami, Florida, which is standing to become the first mixed-use initiative by the architect in the United States.

Riba Survey: Architects Foresee Workload Growth Despite Small Practice Pessimism
arch daily
Riba Survey: Architects Foresee Workload Growth Despite Small Practice PessimismPractices are confident about workloads and staffing levels despite a slide in optimism from smaller firms, according to RIBA’s latest Future Trends survey. Firms which employ 10 staff or less returned an index figure of -6 to the monthly sentiment survey for July, a 10-point drop compared to the previous set of results for June. This marked a considerable deterioration after two months of optimism about workloads. RIBA’s 66 Portland Place headquarters in Marylebone Any figure below zero indicates that practices expect workloads to decrease across the next three months. Nineteen per cent of small practices anticipate an increase in workloads, 25% expect a decrease, and 55% anticipate stability. But the outlook for medium (11+ staff) and large (50+ staff) practices remained optimistic, rallying by 33 points to +44 – the highest figure for two years.   This meant the mood of the wider profession remained largely steady, with the workload index for practices of all sizes dipping by just 3 points to +1, indicating that architects expect workloads to increase overall.  edging up four points to +6. Optimism has been steadily building in the sector since January, with April seeing the overall index edging above zero for the first time in 10 months following a prolonged period of gloom which has been the longest unbroken run of pessimism recorded by the survey since it started in 2009. The regional picture remained mixed, with London (-10) falling in confidence by seven points and the South of England (-2) fell by four points, while Wales and the West (0) held steady. The outlook for the North of England (+10) fell by five points, and the Midlands and East Anglia (+14) rose by four points, both remaining firmly positive.  The outlook among monitored work sectors was also a mixed bag. While the commercial sector (+2) fell by three points, it remains positive. The outlook for the private housing sector (-1) and community sector (-5) held steady; and, while still negative, the outlook for the public sector (-3) improved by two points, the most optimistic it has been since June 2022.   RIBA head of economic research and analysis Adrian Malleson said: “The profession’s outlook has markedly improved over the last twelve months, but many practices continue to face a challenging environment. While the profession remains positive about future work, there’s little anticipation of a rapid upswing.   “July’s Future Trends is the first since the UK elected a new government; but the profession’s response has been muted in contrast to the large but transitory uptick seen following the previous administration’s 2019 Brexit-focused victory.” He said commentary received in July suggested the market is showing early signs of recovery, but that project delays, which practices blame mostly on the planning system, were holding the recovery back by restricting pipelines of work and putting pressure on cash flow. Practices also reported delays with the Building Safety Regulator for higher risk buildings.   He added: “While some practices continue to note a subdued architect’s market, others are seeing increased enquiries, post-election. Overall, there is a sense that the market is slowly improving but that it will take time before this translates into significantly increased workloads.  “We will continue to report our findings to the government and work with other built environment bodies to monitor these trends.”  The survey’s staffing index fell by 4 points to +2. The positive figure indicates that more practices intend to increase staff numbers than reduce them.   Over the next three months, 11% of practices expect to employ more permanent staff, 9% expect to employ fewer, and 81% anticipate no change.
