Second place goes to Tianshu Liu and Lingshen Xie from the United States for Vertical Factories in Megacities: "The design investigates the benefits of moving factories back to megacities. The proposal calls for a series of alternating architectural layers- factories and recreational areas stacked together to create a vertical structure. Each recreational layer would feed from the waste and resources of these factories."
