Earlier this year eVolo Magazine announced the start of its annual Skyscraper Competition. Running for less than 10 years, the competition is already among the most prestigious, original and progressive platforms for speculating the future of high-rises through rethinking their cultural, political, historical and especially environmental implications. We've gathered (and are still gathering) the projects of previous finalists and winners in a collection of (not so) crazy ideas: skyscrapers, as we know them today, are only the tip of the iceberg. Enjoy!
