These are the high-flying winners of an annual skyscraper competition.
The top designs – and runners-up – in eVolo Magazine’s contest were selected from a total of 206 projects submitted.
Established in 2006, the event “recognizes visionary ideas 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 three winning projects, by designers from China and Egypt, propose solutions to bring agriculture into cities, ways to revitalize the Yellow River in China by restoring its bank, and a project that sees a kilometer-deep underwater skyscraper designed to filter the CO2 excess in the oceans.
Other designs include a city built on a net over a Chinese gorge and a tower to house garment workers in Bangladesh.
