Dubai plans ‘moving’ skyscraper

Artist image released by Dynamic Architecture shows the rotating skyscraper that is to be built in Dubai, in various stages of movement.

The Dynamic Tower will constantly change its shape

The world’s first moving building, an 80-storey tower with revolving floors giving a shifting shape, will be built in Dubai, its architect says.

The Dynamic Tower design is made up of 80 pre-fabricated apartments which will spin independently of one another.

“It’s the first building that rotates, moves, and changes shape,” said architect David Fisher, who is Italian, at a news conference in New York.

  1. Thats quite awesome! I wonder how the esidents will feel with the movement, is it so negligible that they will not feel it at all?

  2. *residents*
    excuse the typo :)

  3. no, I doubt it. occupants will feel that its’s the view that’s moving. just right for those people who thinks they are the center of the universe, lol! (like me). but really, this is something serious.

  4. hmm, what would they plan next? a building that could transfer from one place to another depending on the weather?

  5. hmmm…a building that could take off and land. that would be really awesome!
