The green ring is a powerful manifesto of the circular economy expressed through a utopian residential building. A circular building does not exists. We can design and create buildings with circular potential, but then it depends on people in the future. Architecture can be more than just a building; it is a form of communication that can help create awareness and fostering change for the betterment of humanity and the environment. The ring stands tall, its unique shape commands attention, its design disrupts the city skyline and displays a perfect fusion of innovation and sustainability. The facade is adorned with solar panels perfectly integrated into the curvature of the ring, maximizing energy efficiency while maintaining an aesthetic appeal. Green spaces are at various intervals, forming vertical gardens on each floor to purify the air, provide habitat for biodiversity and help regulate temperature. Rainwater harvesting and waste management systems are seamlessly integrated into the building structure and recycling stations are strategically placed on each floor. Residents can enjoy private balconies or communal roof gardens, creating opportunities for urban agriculture and a sense of connection with nature. The building is an important symbol for sensitizing people as it evokes emotions, amplifies messages, and catalyzes behavior changes. By harnessing these elements, we can effectively communicate complex issues, engage individuals, and inspire collective action towards a more sustainable and equitable future.
