39NESTResiding on Centre Island in Toronto, the NEST will become the new core of the city that embraces the city's change and diversity.
6Automatic CityGoing vertically: Because the city's population will grow to 1,000,000 in just 2.5*2.5mile area, going vertically is a strategy to solve the problem of land-use shortage. Automatic-driven elevator: As for the crowded traffic, we believe that with the technology of automatic drive, there would be no more traffic jam. New form of community: we imagine that i
22WinnerHYBRID FUTURE + BIONIC TOWERCONCEPT - Drawing inspiration from the compact foam like structure of the bone tissues, we considered two autonomous cells that grow vertically and can be programmed as per the desired hybrid brief which consist of various interdisciplinary programs and space co-relation vertically at the same time maintaining the structural balance and load distribution as
7Honorable MentionAeroscraperThe Aeroscraper is a mixed-use super-tall tower aims to be a new paradigm for office building in the age of personal air travel. Technological advance makes the boundary between work and life blurred, we are in constant transitions between the two, moving from places to places. The design aims to make this transitional status more attractive and productive.
240People's Choice AwardThe AnchorAfter the period of success in mitigating the damage to mother nature, humanity needs to face new challenges. With the development of technology, it is finally possible to create a space elevator, with this in human history space-age begins. Serving the needs a multifunctional hybrid building is essential.
70Honorable MentionFlying pancakesIn 2100, with the growth of cities, tall buildings became a necessity. The quality of spaces also changes: they evolve into hybrids, units with increased functional potential. A person lives, works and moves in a new way. Capsule drones, private and public, single and multi-cabin, became places for life, leisure, work and just means of transportation.
105Fluid SpacesSpace is consisting of multi-layers like transportation, working, living, and the Presence of every individual person. The project "Fluid Spaces" is an architectural response to all these dynamic interactions. In this project, space is created within self-optimizable fluid expanded in a 3d magnetic field based on the evaluation of all different layers.
47Honorable MentionMagnet - Magnetic CityMagnet, a network of hybrid skyscrapers built up with magnetic levitation, rise in this Magnetic City. They form systems of clean energy supply and urban green space. They link the regions in the city, accommodate the functions of working space, commercial center, as well as the home for future transportation; attract people to gather here as a daily basis.
1HelixSkyscrapers are bound to change the way they are perceived, from architectural marvels and landmark buildings to necessary multi-purpose edifices whilst still being accessible to nature. The project is an architectural proposal to new typology where work, fly and play intertwine to form Helix.
13Overlapping CourtyardsWhen we think about the development of the next century, aging is a topic we can not avoid. We started thinking about how to meet the needs of the current "young generation" for the future "old life", and how to inherit and develop the future needs of this vibrant city.
133Bird BoxOur idea is a response to the issue of global warming, which is based on the concept of migration for environmental sustainability that can be achieved with the flight instruments.
