Skylines Tower

The Skylines Tower, designed by Lissoni Casal Ribeiro for the Skyhive 2020 Skyscraper Challenge, has been awarded an Honorable Mention for its innovative design. Lissoni Casal Ribeiro drew inspiration from nature and its most inspiring element, the tree, to develop an architectural system that is not simply a building but a complete ecosystem. The self-contained, self-sufficient design gathers all the energy required from the sun and the wind, collects water from the rain and transforms the energy from its tensioned cables into electricity to be used by the inhabitants.
This ecosystem provides extensive gardens and cultivated platforms for everyday needs. The tower is configured so as to maximize the functionality of the interior and exterior spaces and guarantee structural efficiency. Starting from an 80x130m urban lot, a main central core hosts the primary functions that are completely surrounded by large hanging gardens supported by an external curtain of steel cables that act as both the structure and the façade design of the tower.
