The Evolo skyscraper competition set up in 2006 recognises projects that challenge skyscraper conventions
Skyshelter.zip, designed by Damian Granosik, Jakub Kulisa, and Piotr Pańczyk from Poland, took the top prize 
The structure of the skyscraper unfolds thanks to a large load-bearing helium balloon placed at its centre
It folds up like an accordion to be transported to disaster zones across the globe and offer support to locals
Other designs include an 'Urban Lung' that sequesters carbon in the air and a tower that uses the power of a waterfall to generate energy
