ORBIT TOWER - 2017 METALS IN DESIGN COMPETITION 

BACKGROUND

In 2017, the Metals in Construction magazine announced a competition for the top architects, engineers and designers: Submit a design that would reduce the embodied energy typically found in a high-rise building, combatting global warming in the process.

PROJECT

Nova Concepts collaborated with ODA Architects to develop the CGI that conveyed their design of the proposed development. Impactful and photo-realistic, the resulting renderings brought their vision to life.

RESULTS

On February 24th, 2017, a jury of leading architects, designers and city planners chose Orbit Tower (ODA Architects & Werner Sobek New York) as the winner among six finalists.
