Philippe Starck unveils design for Ecuadorian skyscraper

Tom Ravenscroft | 12 minutes ago

This week on Dezeen, we unveiled the design for the YOO GYE skyscraper in Guayaquil, Ecuador, by Philippe Starck's architecture and interiors studio YOO Inspired by Starck.

The 176-metre-high skyscraper will be located alongside the Rio Guayas river in the centre of Ecuador's largest city and contain a total of 633 apartments.

It is the latest project from developer Uribe Schwarzkopf, which has also commissioned leading architects including BIG, MAD and MVRDV to design residential high-rises in the country.

In other Starck news, we also revealed the French designer's concept for Qatar Preparatory School – set to be the country's first vocational school focused on education for the creative industries.
