Established in 2006, the eVolo Skyscraper Competition has become the world's most prestigious award for high-rise architecture. Over the last six years, an international panel of renowned architects, engineers, and city planners have reviewed more than 4,000 projects submitted from 168 countries around the world. This book is the compilation of 300 outstanding projects selected for their innovative concepts that challenge the way we understand architecture and their relationship with the natural and built environments.
The projects have been organized in six chapters: The first chapter, "Technological Advances," is an investigation on the use of digital tools and computing fabrication. "Ecological Urbanism" explores sustainable systems. Projects that analyze the reconfiguration of existing cities and the colonization of new environments, such as underwater cities and floating habitats, are part of "New Frontiers." The improvement of our way of living is the topic of the fourth chapter, "Social Solutions." A more experimental approach to architectural design is exposed in "Morphotectonic Aesthetics," with proposals that use fields of data and self-regulating systems to respond to internal and external stimuli--the results are fascinating explorations of function and form. Finally, "Urban Theories and Strategies" is a group of projects that establish new methods to alleviate the major problems of the contemporary city.

Review

"EVOLO SKYSCRAPERS provides futuristic concepts and architectural eye candy
for hours on end and allows a fascinating glimpse into the (possible) future
of high-rise architecture, urbanism, and the city as we know it." --Archinect

." . . a great stroll through the ideas and imagery that are occupying students and young architects today." --A Daily Dose of Architecture

"What will the skyscrapers of the future look like? Will they be covered in gardens, shaped like rocket ships, submerged in the ocean? EVOLO SKYSCRAPERS compiles 300 forward-looking projects, like buildings that incorporate robotics or are capable of flying...the next generation of big buildings." --Wall Street Journal

    5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it. Period.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2013
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    I bought this to research and find references for concept art creation. I originally wanted a Book by Lebbeus Woods called the New City, but since it is out of print and it is a collectible and it is very expensive I started looking for alternatives. I found this book while browsing a magazine and found it is also out of print. I grabbed a copy before it was sold out and so far I must say that I'm impressed with the content. If you're an architect, concept designer or just love futuristic architecture for the sake of it, this is a must have.

    5.0 out of 5 stars For Architecture Leaner.

    This book is very helpful for architecture leaner. People who doesn't know how to do diagram, or doesn't know how to present a project, this book provide a lot of example as template to see. You shouldn't miss it if you just jump in to Architecture World.

    I love futuristic architecture designs and really enjoy reading up about the direction architecture is headed (niche tastes I know). This book is fantastic if the previous sentence had any appeal to you.

    Added bonus of making you look like an intelligent bada** when its on your bookshelf.
