eVolo Skyscraper Competition

The anual Skyscraper Competition organized  by eVolo has become an important architectural prize with high media attention. The 2008 edtion was published by more than ten architecture and design magazines and by several news, fashion, and art publications. The eVolo Book has received excellent reviews and has been included in the catalog for the Book Expo America, Frankfurt Book Fair, and Beijing Book Fair.

For the 2009 edition eVolo invites architects, engineers, and designers to explore new ideas and concepts for vertical density. Skyscrapers have been sprongign up in fast-developing countries without careful consideration of the urban fabric, environmental effects, and quality of life. The 2009 competition calls for innovative designs that take into consideration the historical and social context, the existing urban fabric, the human scalae, and the environment.

eVolo received 416 projects from 64 different countries. eVolo would like to thank everyone who made possible this competition specially the participants whose thirst for innovation is shaping architecture for the 21^st century.
