List of tallest buildings designed by women

This list ranks skyscrapers by height which were designed by women working as primary architects or design coordinators. Only buildings with continuously occupiable floors are included, thus non-building structures, including towers, are not included. (See List of tallest buildings and structures.)

At 262 metres (860 ft) tall, Aqua is the tallest building in the world designed by a woman. Aqua was designed by Jeanne Gang at Studio Gang Architects.[1]

Ranking criteria

This list includes all occupiable structures over 50-metre (160 ft) tall, including spires, that were designed by women in the roles of primary architect or design coordinator. Note that many of these buildings are designed by larger teams that include the female architects listed.
