Downtown Circle is a demonstrative design that ZNera Space, an architectural company, builds. Whether you like it or not, you cannot deny the ambition of this idea for the skyline of Dubai. Looking far away, it resembles a giant UFO that landed in Dubai. With a close investigation, the future of this UAE megaproject is a tall ring with a height of 550 meters and a circumference of 3 kilometers wrapped all over the Burj Khalifa.
The Idea of Making this Ring Giant
The Lord of the Rings movies may inspire the co-founders. Although they may not have the potential to control Middle Earth, they can turn Dubai into a self-sufficient city. The recent COVID-19 pandemic acted as a catalyst for the company to revise the city’s design.
The Structure of this Project
Downtown Circle has five levels in five parts located on the land. This ring, named Sky park, is considered an environmentally friendly belt that works like a compelling idea to provide perfect solutions for plants, such as dealing with agriculture issues like solar power systems and rainwater harvesting. This Downtown circle has an excellent tram that takes visitors around the ring, showing a 360-degree view of the city at 100 kilometers per hour.
The Purpose of this Project
This project aimed to build a vertical city in the sky. The co-founders say we wanted to create a completely horizontal building environment to understand the concept of gated communities. They also added that Downtown was the perfect place to discover this concept.
Why did they publish the picture of the Downtown circle?
Najmus Chowdry said the Downtown Circle design was registered in a design competition started by the Dubai Future Foundation. We submitted the design two years ago and were told our design was shortlisted. However, we have decided to release the images.”
ZNera Space, one of the co-founders of this project, said, “The downtown circle idea makes a supportable and self-adequate vertical urbanity. This building complex will create a hyper-effective urban center that supports the environment while simultaneously having the possibility of livability. With a height of 550 meters, the structure is the best replacement for the singular and unconnected high-rises found in most metropolitan areas. The Middle East used innovative designs because Saudi Arabia’s Neom is another remarkable place copied from a sci-fi film.
