The annual eVolo Skyscraper Competition is a forum for the discussion, development, and promotion of innovative concepts for vertical density. It examines the relationship between the skyscraper and the natural world, the skyscraper and the community, and the skyscraper and the city.

The exponential increase of the world’s population and its unprecedented shift from rural to urban areas has prompted hundreds of new developments without adequate urban planning and poor architectural design. The aim of this competition is to redefine what we understand as a skyscraper and initiate a new architectural discourse of economic, environmental, intellectual, and perceptual responsibility that could ultimately modify our cities and improve our way of life. 

This is just a reminder to inform our readers that there is only one week left to register for the 2011 Skyscraper Competition. The registration deadline is January 11, 2011. You can find more information about the competition and the registration form in the following permanent link:

The launch of eVolo Magazine is a step closer to our objective to provide a forum for showcasing the most innovative, the most avant-garde designs that will define architecture in this century.

After several years of organizing the annual Skyscraper Competition it has become a renowned architectural prize around the world. The best projects of each competition are widely published from architecture, design, and fashion publications to technology, business, and entertainment magazines. The winning projects are also featured in websites, television documentaries, and galleries.

We would like to invite 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. Leer el resto de esta entrada »

The annual Skyscraper Competition organized by eVolo has become an important architectural prize with high media attention. The 2008 edition was published by more than ten architecture an design magazines and by several news, fashion and art publications. The eVolo Book has recived 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 springing 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 scale and the environment.

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

During the summer of 2009 there will be an exhibition with the best projects of the 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 Skyscraper Competition in New York City.

This edition had 3 winners and 15 special mentions.
