The winners of first place in the eVolo Skyscraper Competition has been announced as New York Horizon.

The annual competition invites architects and designers to imagine and propose futuristic structures.

The US designers Yitan Sun and Jianshi Wu’s proposal involves a complete transformation of Manhattan’s Central Park, turning it into a sunken landscape with a topography of hills, lakes and meadows, to be encircled by a megastructure groundscraper.

Here’s what the designers had to say about their winning proposal:

‘As the busiest and most densely populated county in America, Manhattan has always been a big fan of skyscrapers. Limited by its street grid, however, space in New York City is often skinny and tall. One exception being Central Park, a 1.3 square mile urban park, giving New Yorkers a change to escape the busy urban life. However, only a fraction of them can enjoy Central Park’s natural environment on a daily basis, and most of the population either live or work beyond the walking distance from it.

‘Is there a way to make Central Park available to more people? Our proposal is a hybrid multi-functional mega structure. Not by building up, but by digging down, it reveals the bedrock (mountain) that was hidden under Central Park, and creates space along the new cliff. The ambition is to reverse the traditional relationship between landscape and architecture, in a way that every occupiable space has direct connection to the nature.
