Modern skyscrapers are typically made from concrete and steel, but as architect Michael Charters suggests, wood could be a viable construction material for tall buildings that would have a lower environmental impact. Charters recently designed ‘Big Wood,’ a prototype for a large-scale skyscraper made from wood for the 2013 eVolo Skyscraper Competition. The sprawling mixed-use complex would serve as a sustainable alternative to standard building materials, which are expensive and require a great deal of energy to produce.

Due to our addiction to plastics, the human race has created the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a massive accumulation of trash dominated by synthetic, non-biodegradable objects. Turning a blight into an advantage, architects Park Sung-Hee and Na Hye Yeon from South Korea have designed the 7th Continent: Kinetic Islands which are structures that use rubbish as construction elements for a floating city.

We’re excited to announce that one of our favorite architecture competitions — the eVolo Skyscraper competition — is starting up again, and registration is now open! The annual design contest explores the relationship between the skyscraper and the natural world, the skyscraper and the community, and the skyscraper and the city — and they’re looking for your best designs for futuristic, innovative, and creative towers. The competition has showcased a brilliant crop of concepts over the past few years, like the Ciliwung Recovery Project designed to clean up the rivers of Jakarta, or Dystopian Farms, a spiraling vertical farm for New York City. Registration ends on January 11th and the grand prize winners will receive cash prizes and international fame, so get cracking on your futuristic skyscraper today!
