The Circle: Dubai's Most Absurd Idea Yet

This must be Dubai's most insane proposal yet. Just recently the concept for the 500 meter tall Dubai Downtown Circle got introduced. So in this video, we go over the plans for the Dubai Circle and determine whether it would be possible to build it. For more skyscraper & megaproject content be sure to subscribe to Top Luxury.

Would you like to see this around the Burj Khalifa?😎👇

Anything that mentions “suspended pods” as a way of transport is definitely suspicious

First the line, now the cirlce what is next? the square?

[gilmoregals]

Dubai’s mega projects are like fever dreams.

People sure do love coming up with strange ideas. First The Pentagon, then The Line, then The Circle.
Can’t wait for India’s new building The Triangle and Turkey’s new building The Parallelogram

I'm a mechanical engineer, so I'm not familiar with concrete and rebar, but I imagine if this were possible, then only at a smaller scale, with more pillars and a lot of changes in the design. When you look at all the existing skyscrapers shown, not a single one bridges a gap greater than 100m, let alone 2km. All of them are either a bridge-like, or a counter lever structure, and all of them are straight, with no curves. Also, I don't see why it has to be so high up, the main advantage of this is not restricting traffic below, which could be achieved even with 50m of height. I can presume this could work if the pillars were close enough to each other that you could draw a straight line from one to another without going outside the boundary of the doughnut shape of the carried structure. If there are any civil engineers here, I would love to read your take on this.

Imagine having just spent couple of hundred millions on a luxury apartment around the 550m mark in the Burj Khalifa… uh yeah btw we´re gonna build a huge ring skyscraper that takes away almost all your views.

From the creators of Line, we proudly present: Circle!

Imagine a project started and abandoned halfway through. What a scenery it would be with an unfinished structure hanging over your head.

I hope Adam Something or the B1M will cover this, this looks insane!

The creation of this property eventually allowed for exchange.

I wonder what impact this would have on the Burj Khalifa. Could be interesting to view this from above from a high enough floor. The circle needs to be centered though!

[hubertseidl]

first of all: I'm missing the fifth pillar you are referring to. there seem to be just 4.
secondly: this one will be hard, really hard. I'm not saying that it will be impossible, but seriously hard. I'd add another 5 or more pillars and even then it needs to be constructed like a suspension bridge.

Living the dream
Very beautiful video i ever seen thanks for the sharing the video with us keep it up.

[andrewlawson]

Possible or not, you gotta love Dubai for trying to break the mold with these crazy mega project ideas that might actually happen

[coryv]

Sounds like a massive disaster waiting to happen. I feel like they forget the ground they're on can only hold so much before it gives away.

[coblestone]

I love your vide. They are so unice and professional.

[moumitadatta]

Very incredible video. Thanks for shearing with us. We want more videos like that.

[sneaky_krait]

I don't see the circle being held by 4 small pillars, however you could make a full circle with skyscrapers holding it, like the one in Singapore.

[BlaidVT]

Am not doubting the project's success since it doesn't seem like something we can't accomplish and Dubai can't accomplish but big projects like this always come with financial issues and constructional issues being the second to most crucial part in construction before construction workers themselves. We also have to think about society like us who could disrupt this project in the future.
