The idea of designing Ring Island Dubai is based on the approach and looking to the future and providing a multi-functional complex centered on medical services. The creative integration of a digital approach, sustainable architecture, geographic and social conditions of the region, as well as attention to the future needs of Dubai, are indicators that have been considered in all stages of ideation and design and have led to the formation of the final result. Access to this island will be underwater. Transportation systems like monorail and electric cars are planned, and different stations are designed to access every part of the island. Because of a pedestrian-oriented approach, the entrance to the island is located under the ground, and cars cannot come up and enter the island. The crescent shape of the site plan is a symbol of the architecture of the Dubai’s region and the geometry of Burj al-Arab, as well as Muslim religious elements such as the lunar month. Also, the abstract combination of parametric forms and Islamic geometry patterns has been used in the grid designed for the site and higher levels. The project’s program has three main zones, including education and research in the middle, and medical and residential zones. Also, the design of suspended paths between different parts and buildings has made it possible to walk on this island at different levels. Following this issue, by being in any part of the island and at any level, there would be a unique view of Dubai and the Persian Gulf. The terraces and roofs covered with different plants, in addition to increasing the air quality, have given this island a green, and shaded view at different times of the day, which due to the hot and humid climate of Dubai, is an important innovation in design.
