Incredible competition imagines skyscraper design without constraints

There's no official overriding theme this year, but the specter of climate change looms large

Newsroom June 21 01:00

This year’s winners of the eVolo Skyscraper Competition have been announced. Featuring fantastical skyscraper designs, highlights include rotating affordable housing, an ocean-cleaning plastic skyscraper, and tree-like towers to help keep watch over the Amazon rainforest.

The eVolo Skyscraper Competition doesn’t concern itself with mundane practicalities like planning permission, building cost, budget or safety, but is laser-focused on highlighting interesting ideas and sparking the imagination. There’s no official overriding theme this year, but the specter of climate change looms large.
