Dynamic Architecture by David Fisher

Dubai's Rotating Tower will rise up to 80 floors, 420 meters (1380 feet) in height.  Luxury Villas of 1,200 square meters (12,900 square feet) will be on the top 10 floors, the 35 floors below will then be apartments that range in size from 124 square meters (1,330 square feet), an extravagant hotel is then set to the next 15 floors below, and then the lowest 20 floors will be used as prime office spaces.  Parking spaces will also be provided inside to accommodate residences that own vehicles.



Each floor is separated from one another and can turn independently using voice recognition.  This will give the user an ever-changing view of Dubai of 1 to 3 hours.  Designed to be energy efficient and self sustainable, photovoltaic cells that were placed on the top surfaces of each floor will help give power to the building.  Wind turbines were also placed horizontally between each floor and will behave like the vertical wind mills we see on the country side.  It is said that it will generate enough power to power the Rotating Tower by itself and with no help from Dubai's power grid which will make this skyscraper a true sustainable building.

This tower will also be the first skyscraper that is constructed entirely from prefabricated parts.  The parts are manufactured in Southern Italy by a team of around 600 and will be delivered on site and assembled by only around 80-90 personnel and workers.  This would ultimately lower the construction cost and the time to finish down.

Other than in Dubai, this amazing concept of a tower is already being constructed in Moscow, Russia with the same capabilities and specifications designed by David Fisher and he is hoping that New York will be the next to be built with this same concept.
