[O3 TOWERS ] EVOLO SKYSCRAPER COMPETITION SPRING 2013 With the current condition of the climate, severe consequences have been realized. Not only human health but effect on other species has been observed. The population and needs of a civilization are growing everyday and so is the pollution and consequences of exploiting nature. The primary concern of ozone layer depletion has raised many concerns and issues over the last several decades and it needs to be dealt with in a much aggressive manner than before. With that also exists the issues of global warming and even when ozone layer is repaired, this problem remains. Therefore, a system needs to be put in place that monitors, resolves and prevents such climatic scenarios from recurrence.

The existing edge condition in Flagstaff clearly displays the effects of economic downturn and the foreclosure crisis. The idea to develop a new model for a Public+Private Partnership deals with just that issue in order to setup an economic engine where both the Bank and the Owner reap benefits from the new system besides contributing to the economy and the community as well. The goal is to regain the lost value for the existing infrastructure instead of setting up new development so as to fulfill the needs of the different sectors i.e. tourism, research & startups.

Rebuild + Reassess + Redefine = Environment, Sense of Community, Tourism, Research & Startups.
