Auckland Tower by Zaha Hadid Architects, Auckland, New Zealand
Zaha Hadid Architects design was inspired by bringing the city's streetscape into the very heart of the tower with a Sky Garden. "Auckland's ambition and vision for the future must cater for everyone in the city, and in that respect mixed-use projects and plenty of publicly accessible spaces will be the most successful," says associate director Michele Pasca di Magliano.
