Dubai to Boast World's First Rotating Skyscraper

Dubai will continue to strengthen its reputation as one of the world's groundbreaking cities in the coming years when it plays host to the first ever rotating skyscraper.

The Dynamic Tower, which was designed by architect Dr David Fisher, will comprise 80 floors which will all be able to rotate independently of one another, meaning the building will be able to constantly change shape and appearance.

In another world first, the structure will also be completely self-powered, thanks to the wind turbines fitted between each floor.

People staying in cheap hotels in Dubai will be able to see the stunning addition to the city's skyline when the skyscraper is completed in 2010.

Another Dynamic Tower will be built in Moscow and Dr Fisher said that there are plans for a third to be constructed in New York.

He added: "Additional Dynamic Towers will be built around the world, following an expression of interest from developers, governments and public officials to construct a Dynamic Tower in Canada, Germany, Italy, Korea and Switzerland."

Dr Fisher's company, Dynamic Architecture, claims that the tower concept's combination of motion, green energy and efficient construction means that it will "change architecture as we know it".
