The Hover Challenge was a competition organized by Ronen Bekerman with a mission to find the most dynamic concept for the architectural design of a hover structure with full reign of the surrounding environment and materials used to visualize it. We are featuring the winner and the runner ups of the contest which attracted several impressive entries from talented artists worldwide. What was judged for the challenge was the composition, materials, lighting, texture, technical skills, and originality in the architectural and conceptual interpretation of hovering. Below are the images of the winners’ creations, check it out!
