We are thrilled to share the exciting news of the winners of the international architecture competition, “Green Tower Hong Kong – designing against the horizon.”
Following an extensive and meticulous evaluation process, our esteemed jury panel, consisting of renowned architects and field experts like Ryohei Koike from BIG, Cosimo Scotucci from MVRDV, Marc Juarez, Vice Chair of the Association for Vertical Farming, and Norman Ung from DEFT, have now finalized their decisions. Among the impressive submissions, three outstanding entries have been selected as the top winners, and in addition, two special awards have been bestowed upon the “best urban design” and the “most resilient design.”
During the evaluation process, each proposal was carefully evaluated, considering essential criteria such as innovation, relevance, coherence, sustainability, and efficiency, while also placing significant emphasis on the aesthetic value of the designs. We were overwhelmed by the abundance of exceptional ideas that reimagined modern skyscrapers as multifunctional, self-sufficient, and resilient structures, catering to accessibility and diversity.
Below can be found the best entries in 2023 edition.
