Join SOM at the 2023 CTBUH Conference in Singapore

SOM will have a big presence at the 2023 CTBUH International Conference in Singapore. Five towers—8 Shenton Way, Urban Sequoia, Pearl River Tower, 800 Fulton Market, and Suzhou Supertall, which all received Awards of Excellence in July—are set to compete in a series of presentations to be named the best overall project in their respective categories. In addition to these five presentations, SOM will also deliver two keynotes, covering topics from adaptive reuse and repositioning to the value of the three-minute building.

Follow SOM throughout the conference for a peek into the innovations behind our skyscraper designs, and how they can enhance the neighborhoods in which they rise.
