Verticality, Environment, Urbanism

eVolo Architecture Magazine announced the winners of the 2017 Skyscraper Competition. The annual award established in 2006 recognizes visionary ideas for high-rise buildings’ projects that through the novel use of technology, materials, programs, aesthetics, and spatial organizations, challenge the way we understand vertical architecture and its relationship with the natural and built environments.

The Jury selected 3 winners and 22 honorable mentions from 444 projects received. The 22 honorable mentions include skyscrapers inside giant sequoias, villages embedded and hanging from mountains, automated plug-in cities, iceberg skyscrapers that reverse global warming, and wind harvesting structures among other fascinating projects.
