A Rotating Building

Dubai never cease to amaze on what they can build. It was the one kilometre tower yesterday and a building that rotates at every floor, today.




The Dynamic Tower is due to start construction next year and the prices range from US$3.7m to US$36m. Its has 80 floors that rotate independently, ensuring that the tower will never look the same way twice. Each unit will have its own carpark by the apartment using car elevators which stop at every floor.




But such strange pioneering design must surely attracts sceptical questions: If there is more than one apartment per floor, who controls the rotation? And what about electricity? A greater problem was pipings and electrical wirings and ensuring they would function even as the house turned.

And the ultimate question will come from a chinese buyer: how on earth is feng shui going to work if my house direction keep changing all the time !
