The winners have been announced and the LO2P: [Delhi Recycling Center](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-air-monitoring) has walked away with from this year's eVolo Skyscraper competition with first place. A stunning eco-structure of massive proportions, I'm not surprised that this took away the top prize.

Designed by [Atelier CMJN](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-pavilion), which was led by Julien Combes, GaÃ«l BrulÃ© of France, the LO2P: Delhi Recycling Center may look like a ferris wheel, but it certainly does not belong in a carnival. Instead, it is a recycling center, power plant and air filter all wrapped up in one.

Like a [vertical garden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonderwoods-vertical-forest), the LO2P: Delhi Recycling Center could bring a lot of good to many cities around the world. As waste goes in, clean energy, air and food comes out.
