architecture - reserve your rotating apartment now...

It looks like something from out of a science fiction movie but Dynamic Tower, the World's First Building in Motion is happening now. Rotating Tower Technology Company, headed by the Dynamic Architecture Group, recently revealed the design and master plan of the the first Dynamic Tower in Dubai, a rotating building, which will have 80 floors and be 420 meters (1,380 feet) tall. Apartments will range in size from 124 square meters (1,330 square feet), to Villas of 1,200 square meters (12,900 square feet) complete with a parking space inside the apartment. As of June 24th they are taking reservations for the apartments which start at a pricey $3000 per sq foot.


The mastermind behind the plan is Italian visionary Dr. David Fisher.
"The Dynamic Tower is environmentally friendly and the first building designed to be self-powered, with the ability to generate electricity for itself, as well as for other nearby buildings. It achieves this feat with wind turbines fitted between each rotating floor. An 80-story building will have up to 79 wind turbines, making it a true green power plant," Dr. Fisher says.
