Dezeen readers name Brooklyn Tower world’s best skyscraper

To mark World Skyscraper Day today, Dezeen readers have voted the Brooklyn Tower by SHoP Architects as the best skyscraper from the past year.

After over 1,000 votes, the Brooklyn Tower in New York City was the clear winner, with over 30 per cent of people picking it from the poll.

Designed by SHoP Architects, the 325-metre-high supertall skyscraper is now the tallest building in Brooklyn. The distinctive 93-storey tower is clad in blackened stainless steel panels with bronze and copper pilasters.

Dezeen readers picked the skyscraper from an international shortlist including buildings designed by architecture studios BIG, Kengo Kuma Associates and OMA. Brooklyn Tower received 31 per cent of votes in total.

Dezeen carried out the poll to mark World Skyscraper Day, which takes place 3 September. To mark the day last year, we rounded up fifteen supertall skyscrapers being built around the world.
