Rooms with a changing view: Skyscraper that revolves



THE Dynamic Tower
, a slender, shifting skyscraper of rotating, energy- self-sufficient luxury apartments, was presented in project- form in New York on Tuesday by Italian architect David Fisher (left), before it goes up in Dubai.

The innovative, 1,378- foot building features pre-fabricated apartments that spin a full 360 degrees, at voice command, around a central column by means of 79 power- generating wind turbines located between each floor. This building will have endless different shapes (artist’s rendering, above). The apartments, ranging from 124 to 1,335- 12,917 square feet, will take between one and three hours to make a rotation, and will cost from Rs 14.8 crore to Rs 144 crore. The skyscraper, which will cost Rs 2,800 crore to build, should be up and running by 2010.

That's what you get when crude is $150 a barrel.
