The winning ideas of SkyCity Challenge 19: The Future of Housing


Community-based architecture platform SkyCity recently announced the winners of their biannual “SkyCity Challenge”, which garnered over 180 entries from more than 50 countries for its 2019 edition. Established in 2016 in BROAD Town, China, SkyCity aims to confront today's pressing issues in housing.

Entrants were tasked with creating a build-system proposal for Broad Group, which is currently investigating their new material called BCORE. Entrants were challenged to design a modular home that can be dismantled after a period of time and used again. According to SkyCity, the prefabricated pieces of the home had to be easily transportable using traditional shipping containers which, when flat-packed, can be assembled by a small crew with equipment anywhere on the planet.

The jury highly valued proposals that explored BCORE directly and experimented with it, in both its structural capabilities and aesthetics. Scroll down for a look at the prize-winning entries and honorable mentions.

Editors’ Choice 2020 Skyscraper Competition Ruwan Fernando Australia Ever since the Apollo mission showed us the first images of our ‘pale blue dot’ from space, the idea of the world as a ‘whole’ has captured the people’s imagination. Going beyond borders, oceans, and thinking of the continents as a continuous entity comes from this vision. Fifty years later, we face the existential threat of ecological disaster, and maybe revisiting the whole earth project seems like a way of recapturing that drive. This proposal looks at a network of towers that span across the oceans connecting the planet in a matrix that provides energy cleans the oceans and gives new chances for life to thrive. Fusion, Solar, and Hydro-power are used in this matrix with all of these being in high abundance in the ocean. The towers are also self-sufficient and mine minerals from the water as well as farm to support their communities. Research and manufacturing also feature heavily. The connections of the g
