“Spin City”: Dynamic Architecture

August 27th, 2008 by Macy Stenberg

Condos are still available in the first rotating skyscraper in the world, situated (where else?) in Dubai.  Says architect David Fisher, designer of the building, “From now on, buildings will have four dimensions, the fourth dimension is ‘Time’ to become part of architecture. Buildings in motion will shape the sky line of our cities.”  Each floor moves at a different speed, resulting in an ever-changing shape to the structure.  The building is also prefabricated and self-powered, generating enough electricity for itself and nearby buildings.  Many construction details, however, are still to be worked out.  Completion is slated for 2010, so order now (it’s only $3,000/per sq. foot)!
