The Rotating Tower Dynamic Architecture in Dubai

The Rotating Tower, Dubai will be the first real example for demonstrating the dynamic in architecture. The building can move on its own, spinning 360 degree continuously.

The Dynamic Tower offers infinite design possibilities, as each floor rotates independently to create a building that constantly changes shape, resulting in a unique and ever evolving architectural structure. The Dynamic Tower is environmentally friendly and the first building designed to be self-powered, with the ability to generate its own electricity, as well as for other nearby buildings, it achieves this feat with 1

wind turbines fitted between each rotating floor, An 80-story building will have up to 79 wind turbines, making it a true green power plant, Dr. Fisher stated. The Dynamic Tower is also the first skyscraper to be built entirely from prefabricated parts that are custom made in a workshop, resulting in cost savings, this approach known as the Fisher Method, also requires far fewer workers on the construction site, thereby dramatically lowering construction costs. Each floor of the building can be completed in only seven days. From now on, buildings will be made in a factory, Dr. Fisher said. By combining motion, green energy and efficient construction, the Dynamic Tower will change architecture as we know it, and herald a new era of Dynamic Living.

The building will have 80 floors with apartments units ranges in size from 124 square meters (1,334 SF), to Villas of 1,200 SM (12,916 SF) complete with a parking space inside the apartment. The height of the building will be approximately 420 meters (1,380 feet) tall close to that of Malaysias Petronas Tower. Some other interesting facts:

The Dynamic Tower offers infinite design possibilities, as each floor rotates independently at different speeds, resulting in a unique and ever evolving shape that introduces a fourth dimension to architecture, Time. The Dynamic Tower is environmentally friendly, with the ability to generate electricity for itself as well as other buildings nearby making it the first building designed to be self-powered, it achieves this feat with wind turbines fitted between each rotating floor. An 80-story building will have up to 79 wind turbines, making it a true green power plant.

Designed by visionary Italian architect Dr. David Fisher, the Dynamic Tower is the first building in history to introduce a fourth dimension to architecture, Time, the Dynamic Tower will continually reshaped, allowing the sun to both rise and set from the same view, The buildings can also be adjusted to the season, the weather, or to capture a special moment. This tower provide elevator for the car up till the 80th floor. You dont have to worry, because youre bringing the car with you close to where you sleep! The image above explains about the turbine generating energy a new era of green building: The building generates electricity from wind turbines mounted horizontally between each floor, eighty story building will have up to seventy nine wind turbines, making it a true green power plant while 3

traditional vertical wind turbines have some environmental negative impact, including obstruction of views and the need for roads to build and maintain them, the Dynamic Towers wind turbines are practically invisible and extremely quiet due to their special shape and the carbon fiber material they are made of. Another environmentally green element of the Dynamic Tower is the photovoltaics cells that will be placed on the roof of each rotating floor to produce solar energy, approximately 20% of each roof will be exposed to the sun, so a building that has 80 roofs will equal the roofing space of 10 similar size buildings.

Interesting fact I read about this tower: The tower has a core turning point, so to allow each floor to rotate independently with different speed and direction continuously. It uses voice recognition technology to determine rotational direction. The unique thing about it is that the voice recognition program can recognize left and right in every languages of the world!

Conclusion: The Da Vinci code is more than a book or movie starring tom hanks its the next technological breakthrough within real estate. The Da Vinci tower will be located in Dubai and be over 300 meters with approximately 68 floors. Whats so special about it? If not a luxurious building and hotel is enough for you, the apartments will rotate according to every residents desire. You like to have a clear view of the sunset? No problem, just rotate your home until you got it. The rotation also means that the form of the tower will constantly change and therefore have a new different shape all the time. But it doesnt end there. it wont only rotate, but the rotation itself will generate the energy needed for the whole building and for its immediate neighborhood. The ones living nearby are surely fond by this news. the concept is from the Italian architect dr. David fisher, who believes in more than the usual and plain buildings of today as he said during the announcement of the da Vinci tower: buildings should adjust to nature, so many have very little to do with life today. I wanted to create a building which is redesigned every day. Fisher, who is also the founder of the rotating tower technology international ltd, is currently looking for local partners in order to take the final decision on the final design by May. The projects is estimated to cost around dh1 billion but would require considerably less workers, from 2000 to 90, and take only 18

months instead of the usual 30. More building are planned after this initial one, all in Dubais major cities, where a pre-fabrication plant in jebel ali is considered to produce 90 percent of the towers requirements. since the modules of the tower, 12 per floor, will be designed individually and then sent to the tower location, only the concrete core will be built on-site. Through this the cost also reduces by far from todays standards. Dubailand Dubai - United Arab Emirates

estimated cost: aed1.2 billion (us $330 million - euro 255 million) will be the world's first prefabricated skyscraper with 90% of the 68-storey structure built as modules in a factory, actual construction time will be cut to 18 months, as opposed to the average 30 for a building of similar size. the only part of the 313m-tall tower that will be built on site using traditional construction techniques is the central core, which will house lifts, emergency staircases and other utilities. The entire tower will rotate 360 while changing shape. a single rotation will take 90 minutes. 77 wind turbines will be fixed to the tower, along with solar panels, the project will run off natural energy, as well as produce enough to power five buildings in the vicinity.
