Shortlisted in the "Urban Habitat - Single Site Scale" category, DUO will now proceed to the next level of the awards program: The 2020 Tall + Urban Innovation Conference, where "Best in Category" distinctions will be awarded in Chicago from April 5-7.
Best Tall Building Jury Chair Karl Fender, said: "This year's Award of Excellence Winners communicate the diversity of interdisciplinary thought and innovation that will characterize both current and future generations of urban development around the world. These recognitions, bestowed by the world's premier authority on tall buildings, showcase these projects to a global audience and help drive a meaningful conversation about the quality of our urban environments."
DUO is a large scale sculpted ensemble of two towers, marking up a historic joint venture development between the governments of Malaysia and Singapore, symbolizing the symbiotic relationship between the two Southeast-Asian countries.
