Evolo 2010 Skysrcaper Design Competition

on Saturday 04 July 2009 - 10:30:09 | by NEO
Evolo skyscraper design competition 2010
After several years of organizing the annual Skyscraper Competition it has become a renowned architectural prize around the world.
Evolo invites students and professional architects, engineers, and designers to take part in the 2010 Skyscraper Competition.  The main idea of this contest is to examine the relationship between the skyscraper and the natural world, the skyscraper and the community and the skyscraper and urban living.
In the last few years we have seen hundreds of new skyscrapers been developed around the world without careful consideration to the context or environment. There is a constant lack of urban planning and poor architectural design without intellectual or perceptual enjoyment. The aim of the competition is to push our imagination to redefine the term skyscraper through the use of new materials, technology, aesthetics, programs, and spatial organizations. Globalization, environmental warming, flexibility, adaptability, and the digital revolution are just some of the multi-layered elements that should be taken in consideration.
There are no restrictions in regards to site, program or size. The objective is to provide maximum freedom to propose the most innovative projects for this fascinating architectural genre. Ultimately, the designs should help the environment, restructure our cities and improve our way of life.
