The Rotating Crib
There are plans to build a revolutionary 420-meter shape-shifting skyscraper in Dubai have been unveiled by architects.Each floor of the tower would rotate independently, architects claim, creating an ever-shifting shape.
The 80-story Dynamic Tower, described as the “world’s first building in motion,” will also be the first skyscraper constructed from prefabricated units, according to a press statement released by New York-based architect David Fisher’s Dynamic Group.
Each floor would be capable of rotating independently, powered by wind turbines fitted between each floor.
Apartments will sell for around $3,000 per square foot, making each unit range in price from about $4 million to $40 million. Work on the tower is due to be completed by 2010, according to Dynamic’s Web site.
