Sixteen months after structural construction was completed, Sri Lanka’s showpiece high-rise Altair continues to be an attention-grabber in markets around the world with the latest being the Maldives.

While the painting of the Altair straight and sloping towers continue the fixation of glass windows to the individual structures are also underway.

Moshe Safdie, the architect of Altair, has been named the Laureate in Architecture by the jury committee for the 2019 Wolf Prize.
