Skyscraper Competition, this volume brings together 150 innovative skyscraper

projects from 2014, 2015, and 2016 by an international group of architects,

designers, and urbanists who provide unfinished concepts that use

technological advances, sustainability, exploration of uncharted territories,

social solutions, new aesthetics, and urban theories and strategies to propose
