A building which actually moves, changes shape and yet manages to stay erect? Exactly!! You have probably been to many revolving restaurants, but a building that revolves floor, by floor? Yes that's exactly what David Fisher, the visionary architect and creator of the Dynamic Tower has in mind.
"Today's life is dynamic, so the space we are living in should be dynamic as well, adjustable to our needs that change continuously, to our concept of design and to our mood.
"Buildings will follow the rhythms of nature. They will change direction and shape from spring to summer, from sunrise to sunset, and even adjust themselves to the weather. In other words, buildings will be alive", said Fisher while unveiling his plan to the media in New York recently.
"From now on, buildings will have four dimensions. The fourth dimension is 'time', to be made part of architecture," Fisher further said, adding, "Buildings in motion will shape the landscape. Whether they are tall or small, residential buildings, office towers or hotels, each room will have a view."
By combining motion, green energy and efficient construction, the Dynamic Tower will change architecture as we know it, and herald a new era of 'dynamic living'.

The Dynamic Tower offers infinite design possibilities, as each floor rotates independently at different speeds, resulting in a unique and ever evolving structure
The Dynamic Tower is environmentally friendly, with the ability to generate electricity for itself as well as other buildings nearby, making it the first building designed to be self-powered. It achieves this feat with wind turbines fitted between each rotating floor.
An 80-story building will have up to 79 wind turbines, making it a true green power plant.

The Dynamic Tower in Dubai will have 80 floors, and will be 420 meters (1,380 feet) tall, apartments will range in size from 124 square meters (1,330 square feet), to villas of 1,200 square meters (12,900 square feet) complete with a parking space inside the apartment.
Villa residents will be able to drive directly into the building where a special elevator will take their car to their floor and park at the entrance to their villas.
Bathrooms will be preassembled at the Leonardo da Vinci factory in Italy, part of the Dynamic Group and will be made of precious Italian marble, sauna, Turkish bath, chromatography and sound therapy, a real treat.
The first 20 floors will be an offices, floors 21 to 35 will be a luxury hotel, floor 36 through 70 will be residential apartments, and the top 10 floors will be luxury villas located in a prime location in Dubai.
It is destined to become the most prestigious building in the city.
The Dynamic Tower in Dubai will be the first skyscraper to be entirely constructed in a factory from prefabricated parts
It will require only 600 people in the assembly facility and 80 technicians on the construction site instead of 2,000 workers on a similar size traditional construction site, Construction is scheduled to be completed by 2010.

Moscow' Rotating Skyscraper will have 70 stories, and will be 400mt high (1312 ft).
It's developer is Moscow based, MIRAX Group headed by Sergei Polonsky.
The volume of investments into the tower construction is going to exceed $400 million.
The total area of the tower will be almost 110,000sqm (1184000sqf) with offices and retail premises as well as apartments and penthouses.
The project, to be built in the new area of Moscow City within the limits of the third transport ring, is now in the advanced stage of design and coordination.
Construction is scheduled to begin at the end of this year, and the Tower is likely to be commissioned in 2010.
One ashtonising feature will be that the tenants of the villas would be able to rotate their villas according to sunlight, just by a voice-activated system.
Polonsky said, "The brightest feature of the building will be rotation of most floors around the central core, irrespective of the movement of other floors. "Thus, floors will not be identical, which will allow the building to change the form constantly."
The method of construction will also be unique: the central core will be poured in-place, and the floors will be made section by section at a factory and fastened to the core when assembled.

The Dynamic Tower is also the first skyscraper to be built entirely from prefabricated parts that are custom made in a workshop, resulting in substantial cost savings.
This approach, known as the Fisher Method, also requires far fewer workers on the construction site.
In fact, each floor of the building can be completed in only seven days. Units can also be customised according to the owners? needs and styles.
The prefabricated units arrive at the building site ready for quick and efficient installation.
The preassembled units are simply hooked to each other mechanically, this results in environmentally clean construction sites, avoiding unloading of materials, waste, noise and pollution, there will be less risk of accidents to construction workers, and construction time will be reduced by over 30 per cent.

Since the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids not much has changed in the world of building construction, workers placed a stone on top of another, and brick on top of brick, in 1889.
The use of steel was introduced (into construction) for the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and beginning 1905 reinforced concrete was used.
With the start of the Industrial Revolution in 1780, products began to be made in factories using industrial methods, but today buildings are still done on site as they were 4,000 years ago.
"Almost every product used today is the result of an industrial process and can be transported around the world, from cars and boats to computers and clothing, factories are chosen for their ready access to materials, production technology, inexpensive labour, efficiency, and other conditions that result in high quality at a relatively low cost," Fisher noted.
After graduating with honours in architecture from the University of Florence, he became a lecturer of Architecture and Structural Engineering at the same university.
Over the last three decades, he have been passionately designing buildings in harmony with nature, as well as redefining the technical and technological extremes of buildings, particularly in major cities like London, Moscow, Hong Kong, Paris and Dubai

"Our intention is to build the third Dynamic Tower in New York,? Dr. Fisher stated.
"Additional Dynamic Towers will be built around the world, following an expression of interest from developers, governments, and public officials to construct a Dynamic Tower in Canada, Germany, Italy, Korea and Switzerland."
The Dynamic Tower will offer every resident constantly changing views, a voice activated control system, state-of-the-art design details, high quality finishing, and sophisticated electronic devices.
Each Dynamic Tower throughout the world will be unique.
