Evolo - Bio-Pyramid : Reversing Desertification, Honorable Mention
The ‘Bio-Pyramid: Reserving Desertification’ proposal won an honorable mention in the 2015 eVolo Skyscraper Competition and was designed by David Sepulveda, Wagdy Moussa, Ishaan Kumar, Wesley Townsend, Colin Joyce, Arianna Armelli, and Salvador Juarez. The team drew inspiration for the design from Egypt, a country that is not only part of the Sahara Desert, the largest non-polar desert in the world, but is also home to one of the major ancient civilizations founded on early agriculture. The oasis-like Bio-Pyramid uses carefully cultivated micro-climates to sustainably support vertical farming, water purification, clean energy creation, and more.
“Our project ‘Bio-Pyramid’ proposes that we throw away the status-norm on historic preservation/ tourism and create a super-hybrid of re-activating areas that truly make a global difference,” writes the design team. “‘Bio-Pyramid’ is a non-conventional skyscraper that not only operates as a “bio-sphere” but also as a gateway from Cairo across the Sahara Desert; linking a sustainable armature to reverse desertification from a monumental to small nomadic scale.”

ONE Prize - Blight to Might : Queensway Park + Farm, Honorable Mention
Revitalizing Queens through its past infrastructure
During the late 19th c. The construction of the railroads re-shaped the economy of the midlands in Queens and the communities surrounding the Jamaica Bay.
Today the abandoned track running between the quiet Forest Hills neighborhoods and the race tracks in Howard Beach is a ghost of those prosperous times…
Bridging major east-west arteries in the region such as Atlantic Avenue, Metropolitan Avenue, Park Lane South/ 98th street, Jamaica avenue, down to the Rockaway Boulevard, this mighty structure has the unique ability to isolate and support organic earth that would be separated from the pollution of the industrial waste of the past and sources of natural pollution.
In the near future this picturesque relic can become the life line of many local communities; bringing awareness of the regions ecology, much needed source of home-grown organic foods, educational facilities related to organic agriculture and local commercial centers thriving within the area. Abandoned railroad buildings can be renovated to house new commercial/office spaces. New organic farms can feed millions and provide much needed economic growth along with a new generation of people with healthy eating habits
