Two recent graduates of B.Arch from Carnegie Mellon University in the U.S are new to Korea and looking for teammates in the 2011 eVolo Sykscraper competition. All people enthusiastic and knowledgeable are welcome (students, architects, engineers, and designers). Preferably fluent in English, fun-loving, ready to explore! If interested, post to the conversation.
Project Brief:
The annual eVolo Skyscraper Competition is a forum for the discussion, development, and promotion of innovative concepts for vertical density. It examines the relationship between the skyscraper and the natural world, the skyscraper and the community, and the skyscraper and the city.
The exponential increase of the world’s population and its unprecedented shift from rural to urban areas has prompted hundreds of new developments without adequate urban planning and poor architectural design. The aim of this competition is to redefine what we understand as a skyscraper and initiate a new architectural discourse of economic, environmental, intellectual, and perceptual responsibility that could ultimately modify our cities and improve our way of life.
The use of new materials, technologies, aesthetics, and novel spatial organizations, along with studies on globalization, flexibility, adaptability, and the digital revolution are some of the multi-layered elements that the participants should take into consideration. This is also an investigation on the public and private space and the role of the individual and the collective in the creation of a dynamic and adaptive vertical community.
There are no restrictions in regards to site, program or size. The objective is to provide maximum freedom to the participants to engage the project without constraints in the most creative way. What is a skyscraper in the 21st century? What are the historical, contextual, social, urban, and environmental responsibilities of these mega-structures?

This sounds very interesting. I'm a recent graduate as well from UC Berkeley, unemployed, and looking for the next step. I've been looking at competitions, and eVolo was one of them. To join your team would one have to be in Korea with you two? I'd definitely love to go there (I've applied to a couple of firms in Seoul), but without a source of income that would mean having to take out a travel loan or something.
hi guys
my team has accidentally registered twice for the 2012 competition,
so we have an extra registration number
the evolo team had informed us that we can transfer the number to another team
so if you are interested in joining the competition
we'd be more than happy to transfer the number to your team
we paid USD $65 for the early registration
and we'd be happy to transfer it for the same price
it'd save you a bit of money as the early registration period has already past and you'd have to pay more if you register on the evolo website
Looking for eVolo 2011 Team in Seoul, South Korea
