First Place of eVolo’s 2012 Skyscraper Competition: ‘Himalaya Water Tower’
Archivenue just shared a Honarable Mentions entry by Bogdan Chipara for the 2012 Skyscraper Competition hosted by eVolo Magazine.
The first place was awarded to Zhi Zheng, Hongchuan Zhao and Dongbai Song from China for their project ‘Himalaya Water Tower’. The proposal is a skyscraper located high in the Himalayan mountain range that stores water and helps regulate its dispersal to the land below as the mountains’ natural supplies dry up. The skyscraper, which can be replicated en masse, will collect water in the rainy season, purify it, freeze it into ice and store it for future use.

In February, HWKN’s ‘Wendy’ design proposal won the 2012 MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program (YAP). One of the other four creative designs that competed against the winning design is Cameron Wu‘ proposed ‘Coney Inland’ — an architectural strategy which formally unifies and spatially modulates the challenging MoMA PS1 courtyard site.
A series of developable surfaces (cones and cylinders) and their base structures normalize the contingencies of scale and shape of the three courtyard spaces, while their legible transformations register the idiosyncratic nature of the overall site geometry. Continue Reading →
