The Evolving Skyscraper is designed by Vahan Misakyan as a sustainable structure studded with cutting-edge green technologies. This skyscraper proposal consists of an assembly of structural geodesics that form three piercing towers. These towers housing offices, residences, and hotel are linked by habitable bridges at the top and bottom.
Depending on the program that is housed in each tower, the geodesics change in size and configuration. The bridges are designed as commercial and recreational areas, which can be used by the general public. One of the notable features of this skyscraper is the soft transition between the vertical and horizontal planes. This change is achieved by creating surfaces that peel off from the ground and transform into habitable areas.
The latest green technologies embedded into the structure include an ‘intelligent’ skin that controls the amount of light and reduces heat and provide natural ventilation. This function is achieved through mechanical openings in the skin. This skin is also equipped with rain water collection systems, photovoltaic cells, and wind turbines to generate on-site energy.
