An experimental architecture firm has proposed a design that would perch 550 meters (1,804 feet) above street level in Dubai and have a circumference of more than three kilometers (1.8 miles).
The concept also proposes transportation options from one end to the other including an electric tram system that could reach speeds of 100 kilometers per hour and infrastructure to accommodate sky taxis.This amount of architectural ambition doesn't come without its engineering challenges, such as creating a structure strong enough to house the interior features, yet light enough to be supported by the pillars.
The proposed Downtown Circle would weave residential space amongst commercial, corporate, and cultural areas to form a comprehensive"self-sustained city within a city," said Remess."If you live there, you can reach your office, or you can reach your park, or you can reach your home in a 15-to-20-minute walk. In Dubai, it's hard to do that."
"The Skypark is the central spine of the entire design," explained Chowdry."It will be a mixed-use green space and it will also act as a space to rethink how agriculture is going to happen in the future, especially in cities."
