In conjunction with its 50th<\/sup> anniversary, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat<\/a> (CTBUH) has revealed its list of the 50 most influential tall buildings of the last 50 years.<\/p>\n

On that list are 333 Wacker Drive (1983), 875 North Michigan Avenue (1969), and the AMA Plaza (1972), all located in Chicago. Located in New York City, the 4 Times Square (1999) building, 550 Madison Avenue (1983), and 601 Lexington (1977) are also in the lineup.<\/p>\n

These buildings were selected through an open call to the CTBUH member constituency with input from on-staff tall building experts. The skyscraper sector has a history extending back more than 130 years, but it entered a new phase of innovation and acceleration in the late 1960s, which drove the council\u2019s foundation in 1969, CTBUH said.<\/p>\n

Each of the tall buildings on this list exemplifies a critical milestone in the half-century dialogue between iconicity, contextualism, environmental consciousness, and structural innovation, added CTBUH.<\/p>\n

The buildings will be formally recognized at the CTBUH 10th<\/sup> World Congress in Chicago at the end of this month.<\/p>\n
