These are 2015's most exciting building projects

By Matthew Ponsford, for CNN
Updated 1302 GMT (2102 HKT) January 14, 2015
The building, which opens next month, is designed to resemble traditional "wayside" or pilgrimage chapels and will play host to a series of events. The project made waves with its previous miniature meeting space: <a href="http://www.living-architecture.co.uk/the-houses/aroomforlondon/overview/" target="_blank">a tiny boat perched on the edge of a concert hall</a> on London's South Bank.

The title "Africa's tallest building" hasn't changed hands in 42 years -- Johannesburg's 232m tall Carlton Centre having held it since 1973. This year, Dubai developers <a href="http://www.med.ae/" target="_blank">Middle East Development</a> hope to begin a project that would put that tower in the shade:<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/13/africa/morocco-africas-tallest-building/index.html"> the 540 meter Al Noor Tower</a> in Casablanca, Morocco.<br />[Artist's rendering.]

Architects <a href="http://www.v-p.com/en" target="_blank">Valode & Pistre</a> have claimed the building resembles a fountain pen nib -- but <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/13/africa/morocco-africas-tallest-building/index.html">Lord of the Rings' "Eye of Suaron" has inevitably been invoked</a>. For now, the Al Noor tower and Tolkien's trilogy are both just tall tales, with the skyscraper's location and a date for breaking ground still to be written. But the designers say planning is on track for 2015 to be the year the continent starts to see a new icon.<br />[Artist's rendering.]

A giant spike at the center of Moscow's <a href="http://svetasfera.com/" target="_blank">Federation Tower</a> is set to top 500m, but the East Tower is already Europe's tallest building -- at 370 meters just topping the same city's Mercury City tower.

Austrian-German architect <a href="http://www.schweger-architects.com/" target="_blank">Peter Schweger</a> is the man behind the design, but rarely has such a massive building project arrived to so little fanfare. Could critics change their mind when they see the view from inside?
