RPBW is very proud to announce that the Shard has been awarded this year's Emporis Skyscraper Award, one of the industry’s top awards ceremonies for high-rise architecture. The award’s jury praised the 306 metre-tall building “unique glass fragment-shaped form and its sophisticated architectural implementation”, resulting in “a skyscraper that is recognized immediately and which is already considered London’s new emblem.” Emporis Skyscraper Award honours each year, the world’s best new building over 100m tall.
