Solar Powered Rotating Skyscrapers Coming Soon

Usually the big deal when a new tall building is being built is how tall its going to be but in the case of the "Dynamic Tower" it wont be height but its uniqueness that will make it stand out. An italian artchitect named David Fisher has designed an 80 story skyscraper with floors that will be able to rotate individually and be solar powered. Each floor will be able to rotate on its own based on which direction the resident of that particular floor would like his apartment to be facing thereby changing the view from out of the window. Each floor of the building is going to be pre-fabricated off site. The only part of the structure that is going to be built on site is the center of the building. That is going to be the rod or tube that is going to provide the strength of the building. Each pre-fabricated floor will be designed with a hole in the center and when it arrives on site will be simply lifted over the center rod and lowered down onto it. Once in place it will be able to rotate like a merry-go-round on its axis. All 80 floors will be able to face in different directions or be lined up to face in the same direction at once. There are plans to build two of them so far. One in Dubai and one in Moscow. They are planning to begin building in ernest this fall and are thinking that they can have both buildings complete by 2010.
