Dynamic Architecture: Rotating Buildings in Dubai and Moscow
By Village Mayor • Sep 16th, 2008 • Category: Architecture, Latest PostRevolution in Architecture
We have seen tall buildings, we have seen strange buildings, but have you seen buildings in motion that actually change their shape? Sounds unbelievable but not to Dr. David Fisher.
Visionary architect Dr. David Fisher is the creator of the world’s first building in motion – the revolutionary Dynamic Tower. It will adjust itself to the sun, wind, weather and views by rotating each floor separately.
This building will never appear exactly the same twice.

It is amazing but you will have the choice of waking up to sunrise in your bedroom and enjoying sunsets over the ocean at dinner.
In addition to being such an incredible engineering miracle it will produce energy for itself and even for other buildings because it will have wind turbines fitted between each rotating floor. So an 80-story building will have up to 79 wind turbines, making it a true green power plant.

Watch this movie clip to see the Dynamic Architecture in action.
There are currently two projects of such Dynamic Architecture in the world – Dubai and Moscow.
Dubai Project

The Dynamic Tower in Dubai will be 1,380 feet (420 meters) tall, 80 floors, apartments will range in size from 1,330 square feet (124 square meters), to Villas of 12,900 square feet (1,200 square meters) complete with a parking space inside the apartment. It will consist of offices, a luxury hotel, residential apartments, and the top 10 floors will be for luxury villas located in a prime location in Dubai.
The Dynamic Tower in Dubai will be the first skyscraper to be entirely constructed in a factory from prefabricated parts. So instead of some 2000 workers, only 680 will be sufficient. Construction is scheduled to be completed by 2010.
Moscow Project

The tower will be 1312 ft (400 meters) tall. The investments into the tower construction is going to be more than $400 million. The beginning of construction is planned for the end of 2008, and the commissioning of the tower into operation will be for 2010.

Superb architecture . For this splendid architecture , I am adding my imagination.
If above sight is possible , how it could be if floors moving up and down . Today we are in ground floor , next day moving to 1st floor. After 7 days we are moving to 7th floor in a rotation basis. If this happen then modern architecture will move up and up .

Allah will curse dubai for all these fitnah

in architecture a building should blend with site and surrounding building,i think the rotating building will dominate all other building surrounding it, does it a meaning of chitecture, is architecture is going to dominate?

how about motion sickness?
i understand about us standing & working on a rotating earth, but we are incredibly small in relation to earth and besides the earth rotates at such a slow speed. from the video, it is my understanding that the motion would be relatively at a faster speed.

although dynamic architecture is challenging work for modern architect, it is possible to construct dynamic building due to the inovation of modrn scientific technology…if people can stand and work in a rotating earth then why people can not spend thir life inrotating building?, obviously they can stay and work there, if it is to be constructed, i think we should do great research on rotating(motion of earth) ……

No doubt Dubai is city of glamour, full of joy and has beautiful nights. Constructions, developments and new structures are in progress in Dubai. But only for those who have proper job, residency and money. I love Dubai.
