Skyscraper 2070 is located along the 5 freeway on the West Coast. This dual-tower design consists of a primary tower with 110 floors, which includes a multimedia antenna, and a secondary tower with 65 floors. The overall concept focuses on vertical growth and sustainability. It seeks to create a multifunctional environment that combines residential, commercial, and recreational spaces.

Design Functionality

The primary tower features a mix of housing options, offering both luxury and affordable units. It also includes essential public facilities such as a library, a school, and a daycare, fostering community integration. The secondary tower acts as a mixed-use hub, hosting a multiplex cinema, hybrid cafes, quick-service restaurants, and office spaces. This arrangement encourages an active urban lifestyle where work, living, and recreation are closely linked.

Sustainability Features

Sustainability is a central aspect of the design. The project incorporates vertical multi-level produce farms and ample green spaces. The central eco park improves the urban landscape and supports local biodiversity. Smaller pocket gardens and pedestrian-friendly areas are included throughout the site, reflecting an intention to connect the urban environment with nature.

Transportation Infrastructure

The project also addresses transportation needs by incorporating light rail transit and a Hyperloop system. These additions aim to decrease dependence on cars and improve movement within the city. Circular bridges connect the towers, facilitating interaction among residents and providing views of the surrounding landscape.

Architectural Details

Attention to community engagement is evident through the thoughtful arrangement of features. The circular bridges not only link the two towers but also serve as social spaces, offering opportunities for residents and visitors to interact. These design elements create a vibrant atmosphere, enhancing the experience of urban living while maintaining connectivity with the natural environment.

`
Competition organisers

The Buildner’s Unbuilt Award 2025 is an international architecture competition dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the value of unrealized architectural designs. It invites architects, designers, and students worldwide to submit visionary projects that have not yet been constructed, highlighting the power of ideas and the creativity behind the design process. By focusing on unbuilt work, the competition aims to bring forward concepts that shape the future of architecture and push the boundaries of the profession. 

Participants can compete in three categories based on project scale: Small Wonders (up to 100 m²), Medium Marvels (101–999 m²), and Large Visions (over 1,000 m²). Each category winner will receive €20,000, and additional prizes include honorable mentions, student awards, and a special Best Presentation Award. Winning projects will gain significant international exposure through Buildner’s publicity campaign and a feature article on ArchDaily, providing a unique opportunity to showcase creative ideas to a global audience. 

The Buildner’s Unbuilt Award 2025 encourages entrants to submit any type of unbuilt project, from conceptual visions to detailed designs, celebrating bold innovation without the constraints of realization. Important deadlines: registration closes on October 30, 2025; submissions are due by November 20, 2025; winners will be announced on December 17, 2025.
