The 2013 Mock Firms International Skyscraper Challenge will take place April 25 – 26 2013 in beautiful downtown Chicago. With the theme of “Rediscover the Future,” aspiring young design professionals will be challenged to produce an iconic super-tall for Amman, Jordan (collegiate) and Chicago, IL (high school). Programmatic target is a design solution for a diverse and comprehensive vertical healthcare community.

Finalists will share in the unique experience of interacting with leading design professionals as their ideas are evaluated by the same.
