The tallest building in the Czech Republic, the AZ Tower rises above Brno as a mixed-use development completed in 2013, designed by Aleš Burian and Gustav Křivinka with a glass-clad exterior, sharp vertical lines, and a tapered form that narrows towards the top, housing offices, apartments, and commercial space. Its sleek surface and emphasis on height mark a modern phase in the city’s growth, set against the older buildings nearby.
