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.
