Set to be constructed - of course - in Dubai, this skyscraper designed by architect David Fisher rotates by wind power. But not as a whole - this building rotates by individual floor, creating what Fisher calls ‘dynamic architecture’.
Dynamic Architecture buildings keep modifying their shape. As each floor rotates separately, the form of the building changes constantly; you may not see the same building twice.
Dynamic architecture marks a new era in architecture. This new approach, based on motion dynamics, is in fact a challenge to traditional architecture that until now was based on gravity.
Dynamic Architecture buildings will become the symbol of a new philosophy that will change the look of our cities and the concept of living. From now on, buildings will have a fourth new dimension TIME. Buildings will not be confined to rigid shapes; construction will have a new approach and flexibility. Cities will change faster than we ever imagined. [David Fisher, from dynamicarchitecture.net]
So I know what you’re thinking - incredibly wasteful, right? Not if Fisher is successful in placing horizontal wind turbines between each of the tower’s floors - providing 48 turbines to power the building’s spinning.
