With more than 130 submissions vying for recognition in the 2016 program, the pool of potential winners was stacked both with the cloud-piercing towers that have made headlines throughout their entire development timelines, and those that have only recently emerged from obscurity on the global stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn recognizing the industry’s greatest achievements each year, it’s the Council’s hope that the concepts described materialize into more than just a small percentage of projects, but become commonplace considerations for the vertical city. Of course, there are numerous barriers to consider in this pursuit: global strife, economic upheaval, outdated legal systems, weather-related disasters, population growth, mass urban migration, and more. But within these barriers are hidden opportunities and underlying solutions that will become the foundation for new periods of innovation in the industry. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust as the decisions of the individual define the person, so does the architecture we build define our collective perception of the world.
