A new era of dynamic architecture has begun in Dubai. In 2008, Dubai lunched a project to build a mile-long super bridge “world’s largest arch bridge”. Now they are going to build the world’s first moving skyscraper, its also called dynamic skyscraper.
The dynamic tower consists of over 78 storey apartments, spinning independently of one another. The tower’s architect David Fisher said ” it’s the first building that rotates, move, and change shape.” This building never looks the same, not once in a life time” he added.
For the first time men will have building in full dimensions, in the building you can have breakfast facing sunrise, and dinner facing the ocean without moving from your room.
The building is also self-powered, it produces energy by itself. Not only that, but also can supply green energy for neighborhood buildings and cities. “Welcome To the Future”.
It takes the apartment to rotate a complete rotation about and hour to three hours, and the estimate cost is around 700m $. The building should be ready in 2010.
“I call these buildings designed by time, shaped by life,” said the Florence-based architect. “These buildings will open our vision all around, to a new life.”

Interesting! As an engineer I am just wondering about the structural stability of the building and the different load conditions experienced while moving
