Dubbed the world's first"upcycled" high-rise, the resulting tower opened earlier this year and, on Friday, was named World Building of the Year 2022. Standing at 676 feet tall, the vastly expanded 49-story skyscraper, now known as Quay Quarter Tower, retained more than two-thirds of the old structure, including beams and columns, as well as 95% of the original building's core.
After removing unsalvageable parts of the old building, construction workers erected a new structure beside it that they then"grafted" onto what remained. A contemporary glass facade was wrapped around them both to create a single skyscraper. The new design doubled the building's available floor space and, in turn, the number of people it can accommodate, from 4,500 to 9,000.
"The greenest building is the one that already exists," Holt said, quoting former president of the American Institute of Architects, Carl Elefante.The ambitious project, which 3XN completed alongside engineering firm Arup and Australian architecture practice BVN, posed a slew of design challenges. Among the first was simply determining whether the existing building matched its original design.

Expert says Australian geologist’s false climate change claims 'designed to mislead and confuse'Videos of a climate change denier falsely claiming that human-caused carbon emissions are not driving global warming have been viewed tens of thousands of times online. One climate expert told AFP that the arguments put forward by Australian geologist Ian Plimer during a gathering of political conservatives had been 'designed to mislead'. There is consensus among climate scientists that global warming is driven by human activity, and in particular the burning of fossil fuels especially since the end of the 19th century.
