THESE stunning skyscraper designs offer a shimmering glimpse of what our skylines could look like in the future.
Submitted to a prestigious architecture contest, they include a foldable building for disaster zones, a post-apocalyptic haven and a vertical city over a volcano.
The annual award was set up in 2006 by eVolo magazine to recognise "visionary ideas".
They want projects that "challenge the way we understand vertical architecture and its relationship with the natural and built environments".
First place was awarded to Skyshelter.zip, designed by Damian Granosik, Jakub Kulisa, and Piotr PaAczyk from Poland.
Inspired by origami, it is a foldable skyscraper, which can be easily transported and deployed in disaster zones.
