Given the number of stunning, almost miraculous constructions going on in Dubai, it's hard to single out one which outdoes others in its novelty, magnificence and uniqueness.
Talking of uniqueness? What about the first digital building of the world? What about a mega structure building being assembled at factory? How would you like some apartment with the ability to make whole deck rotate on touch of your finger? It's big, it's stunning, and it's spectacular. It's the first wind powered rotating sky scrapper of the world.
With the names like Infinity Design, LERA, Bosch Rexroth and Viega associated to the project, Dynamic Constructions is set to begin the work on this rotating sky scraper in Dubai very soon.
Construction:
Construction work will be completed simultaneously, while putting up the center of the building on-site, floors will be manufactured at a factory, before being carried to the location where they will be elevated and positioned with concrete center. This advance method will prove to be both time saving and cost effective. According to Dynamic Constructions, only 90 workers will be needed on-site. Compare this to more then 2000 workers normally required to build this kind of structures, and you will know the difference. Building the center and floors separately, but at the same time will result in a lot more swift completion of the project.
Rotation:
This is what makes this skyscraper truly phenomenal. Each deck of this Dubai skyscraper can rotate independently, giving the skyscraper a new shape and a new dimension every moment, making the building a visual treat. These floors will be remote controlled with residents having the option to decide on the speed and direction of their liking. What's more? Top five floors would be controlled through voice activated remote controls.
Wind Powered:
Wind energy is the power generated by wind through wind turbines. This process is clean and it doesn't produce any type of air pollution. Dubai rotating skyscraper will have wind turbines placed within its structure. These turbines are capable of generating more energy then what is needed for expected energy consumption of skyscraper. Thus providing loads of energy back into Dubai energy grid.
Another Rotating Skyscraper:
Lots of people are confusing this wind powered rotating skyscraper designed by David Fisher with another building designed by Glenn Howells Architects. That tower will actually rotate on its base and it comes no way near to the grandeur of David Fisher's rotating skyscraper.
