eVolo Magazine is pleased to invite architects,
students, engineers, designers, and artists from
around the globe to take part in the eVolo 2015
Skyscraper Competition. Established in 2006, the
annual Skyscraper Competition is one of the world’s
most prestigious awards for high-rise architecture.
It recognizes outstanding ideas that redefine
skyscraper design through the implementation of
novel technologies, materials, programs, aesthetics,
and spatial organizations along with studies on
globalization, flexibility, adaptability, and the digital
revolution. It is a forum that examines the relationship
between the skyscraper and the natural world, the
community, and the city.
The participants should take into consideration the
advances in technology, the exploration of sustainable
systems, and the establishment of new urban and
architectural methods to solve economic, social, and
cultural problems of the contemporary city including
the scarcity of natural resources and infrastructure
and the exponential increase of inhabitants, pollution,
economic division, and unplanned urban sprawl.
The competition is an investigation on the public
and private space and the role of the individual
and the collective in the creation of a dynamic and
adaptive vertical community. It is also a response to
the exploration and adaptation of new habitats and
territories based on a dynamic equilibrium between
man and nature – a new kind of responsive and
adaptive design capable of intelligent growth through
the self-regulation of its own systems. The 2015 eVolo
Skyscraper Competition is possible with the support
of Autodesk, real5D and v2com.
