Ambitious concepts celebrated in Evolo 2011 Skyscraper Competition

Architecture and design blog Evolo has announced the 15 winners of its skyscraper competition, with successful entries originating from all across the globe. The hugely elaborate concept designs are by and large brightly coloured, intricate projects which tower above their neighbours in the local vicinity.
