Architecture magazine eVolo takes readers into the future with its annual skyscraper competition, which rewards innovative ideas for vertical living.
For its ninth annual competition, the magazine received 525 projects from 43 countries on all continents. Three winners and 20 honorable mentions were selected by a jury of leaders in the fields of architecture and design.

The first prize went to "Vernacular Versatility," a proposal that reinterprets traditional Korean architecture in a contemporary mixed-use high-rise.

This second-place project, "Car and Shell Skyscraper," proposes a city in the sky for Detroit comprised of homes, recreational areas, and commercial areas stacked in a large cube.

The environmentally friendly third-place winner, “Propagate Skyscraper,” aims to obtain and contain greenhouse gases in order to lessen their presence in the atmosphere.
