Conceptual foldable skyscraper wins 2018 Skyscraper competition
Rating:
Loading...Every year, the architecture magazine eVolo holds a competition for the most innovative skyscraper concepts.
This year's first place winner is Skyshelter.zip, a tower envisioned for disaster areas by a trio of Polish architects: Damian Granosik, Jakub Kulisa, and Piotr Pańczyk. Similar to a helium balloon, the lightweight skyscraper would be airlifted by three helicopters, and then unfurl into place on the ground level.
You wouldn't need a construction crew to assemble the tower, which could be deployed within minutes. When it's no longer needed, Skyshelter.zip would then be folded up like an accordion and brought to another site in need.
The tower would include a reception area, temporary housing, storage, a medical facility, and a vertical farm that would use the site's soil. Its roof would collect rainwater, which would be filtered for the building's users.
The designers write that Skyshelter.zip would be useful for places struck by earthquakes, floods, or hurricanes.
