The SKYHIVE Skyscraper Challenge 2022 results are in

By Josh Niland|

Buildner’s SKYHIVE competition has returned for the 5th consecutive year with a list of winning skyscraper concepts that work to challenge and redefine established notions of the tall-building typology.

The design brief states that proposals had to "examine the relationship between skyscrapers and the natural world, the community, and the rest of the city as a whole," with consideration given to "the impact on the surrounding environment, as well as how the increase in inhabitants will affect the current infrastructure, pollution levels, economic division, and urban sprawl."

Participants were invited to interpret the competition’s design brief as creatively as they saw fit and were selected for their designs’ response to the chosen site and aesthetic consistency with its existing skyline. The sites were restricted to a 10,400-square-meter (112,000-square-foot) total area that could be accessed by roads on at least two sides. 

Jury members included Turkish architect Hayri Atak of Hayri Atak Architectural Design Studio (HAADS); Oscar-nominated production designer Jim Bissell; Chartier+Corbasson Architectes Associate Thomas Corbasson; Benedikt Hartl of Opposite Office; Zutari Associate Samista Jugwanth; and PILA Principal Ilias Papageorgiou. 

The full list of prize winners and honorable mentions can be found below. 

1st Prize + BB Student Award: City 2040: Microclimate Control Tower by Dong Young Kim and Young Hyun Choi (Yeungnam University, South Korea)

Jury commentary: "City 2040 is a design for a ‘microclimate control tower’ for the metropolitan city of Daegu, South Korea. It takes one of the current urban challenges of the city, which questions whether to focus on commercial or cultural development, and proposes a dual response - a cultural podium topped with a commercial tower, designed using heat pumps to respond to another urban challenge: reducing urban heat accumulation. [...] Besides the idea of a mixed-use building - the designer also wanted the building to assist with the urban heat that the city faces. Its heat pumps cause circulation, therefore breaking the heat sink. This idea of the microclimate is a strong concept that should have been developed even further. It is admirable in its ambitions, with a design that is impressively detailed and the concept supported with clear and understandable graphics."

Jury commentary: "Tall Pile of CLT is a proposed mixed-use tower for a site located in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. The project explores the architectural possibilities of cross-laminated timber, for use in a modular high-rise. To achieve variability in its form, the consistent floorplate is rotated among floors. [...] An innovative construction idea, the project addresses sustainability in a meaningful way. The use of the CLT panels seems advantageous - and there has been deep thought put into how loads are managed. It is a simple, but worthy concept with intriguing design. The presentation is clear, albeit wordy."

3rd Prize + BB Green Award: Dahavi's Redemption And Rebirth — Skyscraper Design Based On Biological Simulation by Yufei Liu, Fuyuan Xu, and Huizhong Wang (University of Jinan, China)

3rd Prize/BB Green Award Winner: Dahavi's Redemption And Rebirth by Yufei Liu, Fuyuan Xu, and Huizhong Wang (University of Jinan, China). Image courtesy Buildner

Jury commentary: "Dharavi’s Redemption and Rebirth, designed for Mumbai’s largest slum, proposes a podium intended for conversion of waste into raw materials and energy for industry. Waste from future residential and industrial sites provides construction material for this podium. The tower of housing units is intended to be built over time, using capital gained from the waste conversion. [...] Waste and recycling is a critical issue for the 21st century. The approach to a ‘growing’ building is commendable. However, the actual design remains relatively conventional, and could be more innovative in terms of expression, form and presentation. Innovative and smart, this project takes into account a very problematic  environment - the slum - and turns it into something positive and productive."

    Can we make pay to play student competitions illegal already? So much wasted labor for little to no return.

  • CC Chiang ·  Aug 17, 22 8:02 PM

    It's a portfolio game. Students pay to play and get to add a 'personal' project at the end of the portfolio.

    I would love to see a news story about the people who organize these things.  How much money are they raking in?

  • CC Chiang ·  Aug 18, 22 2:23 PM

    Apparently BeeBreeders is now called Buildner. They are very small - a loose colleciton of half a dozen people it seems. The MO seems to be 1) Come up with a dreamy-sounding brief, 2) Contact the relevant websites, including Archinect, 3) Assemble a random judging panel from people they know, 4) Watch the cash roll in
