“eVolo Magazine”, a magazine of architecture and design with futuristic bias announced the winners of the “Competition skyscrapers “2013, in which architects were offered imagine what tomorrow’s skyscrapers will look like. Hundreds architects participated in the competition and presented many the most incredible and sci-fi building concepts of the future. Just imagine: a skyscraper that hovers on a giant balloon, a shield that protects against the heat of volcanoes, and plans for building cities in meteorite craters.
Yes, this competition is more mental an experiment; any of these buildings are unlikely someday will be built. But like the good ones science fiction books, they give us ideas of the future that based on those technologies to which we are already enough are close.

This Arctic skyscraper concept has received top marks on eVolo competition. Derek Pirozzi introduced an umbrella-like a building that functions as a science station where scientists can do research and work with ice shelves Arctic.
Skyscraper Phobia

The second place in the tournament went to Skyscraper Phobia, designed as a residential building for the suburbs of Paris. He’s done from recycled materials and industrially manufactured blocks, and According to architects, due to the low cost of maintenance, the building can be left and repopulated as needed.
Soaring Skyscraper Light Park

In third place is this concept of Beijing a skyscraper that can bring parks and green plants to densely populated areas. Giant balloon will support its soaring in the air. (Subsequent concepts received special mentions during the competition).
Sound scraper

If it’s too noisy near your house, just install one from these buildings. According to architects, it is able to capture vibrations of acoustic pollution and turn them into usable energy.
Strato scrapers

How would you build a skyscraper in space so that it doesn’t toppled to the ground? You can try what this one offers. project: build a network of connected skyscrapers all over the planet, put them in the stratosphere and allow Earth’s gravity support them there. They do not need contact with the surface.

These buildings will absorb and decompose various pollutants, turning them into water and fertilizers.
Skyscraper Proteus

This concept explores the idea of adding additional buildings. a layer of “fabric” which can then be changed, stretched, and even connect with other skyscrapers. Sounds great, even despite the fact that the idea of a building with its own “skin” looks somewhat creepy.
Skyscrapers for Mars

If we colonize Mars, we will need to make it suitable for living. And the idea of mobile buildings that are capable terraform the surface of the planet, looks one of the most interesting concepts that we have heard about. These buildings will mine minerals, and use them to produce greenhouse gases that will be able to heat the planet.
The power of volcanoes

We are losing a monstrous amount of energy because we don’t We use its magnificent natural source – volcanoes. VolcanoElectric Cover will protect certain areas from eruptions and absorb the heat of volcanoes for use in quality of energy.
Earthworm

Inspired by an ordinary worm, this skyscraper is filled with soil and receives energy for its nutrition (as well as the nutrition of other parts cities) recycling garbage. Just like the real one worm.
Post apocalyptic skyscraper

Skyscraper system “Zero” – a plan for the recolonization of the planet after the apocalypse. Strategically placed self-sufficient towers will store data, and provide enough shelter, food, and water for the remnants of humanity.
Drifting rubbish skyscrapers

In the Pacific, a giant pile of trash is drifting right now. She so called – Pacific garbage spot. As planned architects, this building will be built by robots that will turn garbage into cubes and then combine them together into one big drifting building. Then the building can be burned or sent to space, where it will burn during the return to the atmosphere.
Wooden skyscraper

The word “skyscraper” immediately brings to mind images of steel and concrete, but this building is made of wood. The comfort of a wooden house in the middle of a huge city.
Rainwater purifiers

These buildings look like bouquets of flowers, right? It is enough least true, because, like flowers, they capture rain water, and then purify it and release it back.
Porous skyscraper

This crater development project should help Earth recover after major asteroid impacts. And, in fact, not just recover, but use craters formed from the fall to create whole mini-cities in them.
