SKYHIVE Skyscraper Challenge

May 11, 2017 @ 8:00 am - November 29, 2017 @ 11:59 pm EDT

$120 – $140

The SKYHIVE Skyscraper Challenge is looking to create an iconic high rise structure for an office tower with state-of-the-art facilities. Working in partnership with the Manipal Executive Education, winning entries will be showcased in their Global Tall Building Studio – Design Workshop in Dubai, where architecture students and in industry leaders collaborate to conceptualize the future of high-rise structures.

The participants are asked to redefine skyscraper design through the implementation of novel technologies, materials, programs, aesthetics, and spatial organizations along with studies on globalization, flexibility, adaptability, and the digital revolution. SKYHIVE architecture competition should be treated as a platform that examines the relationship between the skyscraper and the natural world, the skyscraper and the community, and the skyscraper and the city.

Participants are encouraged to explore the latest innovations in technologies in sustainable systems and methods for solving economic, social and cultural problems through the establishment of new urban and architectural methods. They will need to consider the scarcity of natural resources, as well as the strain on the existing infrastructure, and the exponential increase of inhabitants, pollution, economic division, and unplanned urban sprawl.

The participants are permitted to choose a hypothetical site (130m x 80m) accessed by roads on two sides both longer and shorter side of the site, located in a city of their choice and follow the local bye-laws of the city municipal rules and regulations as prescribed. The site context and surroundings are to be assumed.

This is an open architecture ideas competition, and as such participants have complete freedom to interpret the brief in the most creative way possible.

The winning team will have the chance to join the GLOBAL TALL BUILDING STUDIO – DESIGN WORKSHOP in Dubai in Spring 2018 as a participant for free. In addition, Manipal University Dubai School of Design & Architecture also agrees to sponsor a guided tour of the Burj Khalifa for the winning team.
