Popular Mechanics in June

Only the most advanced, futuristic designs from around the world make it to the final stage of the eVolo Skyscraper architecture competition – a contest that aims to change our understanding of the purpose, design and construction of skyscrapers in the 21st century. This year for the first time, a project from Russia is among the top three entries.
