Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>The circular structure would reside on tall pillars installed around the Burj Khalifa and incorporate both residential and commercial areas. Experimental architecture firm ZNera Space has come up with a bold concept that involves building a massive circular structure around the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the skyscraper that is currently regarded as the tallest in the world.<\/p>\n

According to CNN, the proposed five-story structure, dubbed Downtown Circle, would sit high above street level, resting on five massive 550-meter-tall pillars, and would have a circumference of over three kilometers.<\/p>\n

ZNera Space\u2019s principal architects Najmus Chowdry and Nils Remess, however, readily admitted that their concept is impossible to implement at this time.<\/p>\n

The structure would incorporate residential space, along with commercial and cultural areas, with Remess describing the result as a “self-sustained city within a city.”<\/p>\n

Power would be provided via \u201csolar hydrogen cells,\u201d with energy collected by solar panels installed on the structure\u2019s roof used to convert water into hydrogen \u201cwhich can then power the air conditioning and provide energy to the building,\u201d the media outlet notes.<\/p>\n

The pillars on which the structure would be perched may be outfitted with a smog-filtering design also developed by ZNera Space, with Chowdry suggesting that the pillars could essentially be used as \u201curban air purifiers.\u201d<\/p>\n

“We wanted to create a microclimate in Downtown and create a sort of envelope around the area to control the temperature and make it more liveable in hot weather,” he said.<\/p>\n
