Some of the world's best-known architecture studios, including BIG, Foster + Partners, Zaha Hadid Architects and Dorte Mandrup, are designing supertall skyscrapers. Here are 10 that are on the horizon.
Buildings that reach over 300 metres tall are classified by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat as supertall skyscrapers.
Since the Chrysler Building in New York became the world's first supertall skyscraper in 1930, over 170 supertalls have been built around the world with the number rapidly increasing in recent years. A record 26 buildings over 300 metres were completed in 2019.
Many of these supertall skyscrapers were built by studios that specialise in these engineering-heavy buildings, such as Kohn Pedersen Fox, Skidmore Owings and Merrill and Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill. However, increasingly, studios better known for cultural projects are getting in on the act. Below are 10 supertall skyscrapers designed by some of the biggest names in architecture that are set to complete in the next couple of years:

Standing alongside the Chicago River, all three skyscrapers will feature a wavy facade of blue-green glass, with the tallest tower reaching 348 metres.
