# Skyscraper Competition eVolo Symbiotic Interlock Vertically Interconnected City By Dee Sandin | Published 2008-03-31 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2008-evolo-skyscraper-competition-symbiotic-interlock-vertically-interconne References: [zeroenergy411](http://zeroenergy411.com/?p=3584) & [evolo-arch](http://www.evolo-arch.com/) Daekwon Park's project for sustainable buildings at 2008 eVolo skyscraper competition, consisted of finding ways to reunite isolated city blocks by inserting a multi-layered network of public space and green space. Billed as "Symbiotic Interlock - towards the vertically interconnected city", it has a system of stackable modules designed to add an extra layer of infrastructure to already existing buildings by implementing sky docks, bridges, [vertical gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sudameris-plaza), cultural spaces, plus and [energy producing wind turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-sphere). It internalizes green environments within a [biomorphic structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-leaves) that contributes to functionality, energy, and food. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Vertical Greening:** Opportunities for integrating green spaces and plant life in vertical structures to improve air quality, sustainability and optimize space usage. - **Modular Infrastructure:** Opportunities for stackable modular design that can add an extra layer of infrastructure to existing structures and enhance functionality, and energy production. - **Biomorphic Architecture:** Opportunities for integrating structural design with natural forms and patterns to create sustainable buildings that contribute to the environment. ### Who This Affects Most - **Construction:** Opportunities for innovative construction techniques and materials to support sustainable building practices. - **Renewable Energy:** Opportunities for energy producing wind turbines and other renewable energy sources as part of sustainable building design. - **Urban Planning:** Opportunities for urban planners to envision and create sustainable, interconnected cities with integrated green spaces and smart infrastructure. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Greenery-Filled Skyscraper Terrarium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terrarium-cheongdam.md) - [Layered Office Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schieblocks.md) - [Multifunctional Circular Housing Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eve-park.md) - [Urban Roofscape Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/central-yards.md) - [Staggered Cubic Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ooda.md) - [Rurally-Inspired City Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ziel-highrise-building.md) - [Forest Tower Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonderwoods-vertical-forest.md) - [City-Honoring Furniture Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/symbiotic-urban-furniture-project.md) - [Stacked Cylindrical City Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oopen.md)
