Is the future of New York sunken skyscrapers? This an interesting concept that designers and architects came up with for this year's eVolo Skyscraper Competition.

The Winners

This year's competition winner was Yitan Sun and Jianshi Wu, who came up with a design entitled "New York Horizon." The concept for their submission involved digging up Manhattan's Central Park and surrounding it with a 1,000-foot reflective wall. This wall would create a mirrored "horizontal skyscraper" to reflect the park's greenery. The architects told CNN that there concept was to "reverse the traditional relationship between landscape and architecture"

Other winners included second place The Hive" which was conceived as a response to the rise of drone technology and the inspiration was a tower covered in drones. Third place went to "Data Skyscraper" while other winners were "Return to Nature" and the dystopian design "Cloud Craft.
