--
David Fisher's company 'Dynamic Architecture'
have developed a moving skyscraper! The
building will be made up of 80 floors, with
an apartment on each floor.
The rotating building is made possible by 79
giant power-generating wind turbines.
As well as the rotation, the wind turbines
will also provide enough energy to power the
entire building and feed extra energy back
into the grid.
There are two buildings planned at the
moment. One in Dubai and one in Moscow. The
Dubai building is planned to be up and
running by 2010.

The World Islands, are a collection of
man-made islands shaped into the continents
of the world, located off the coast of Dubai
in the United Arab Emirates. It will consist
of 300 small private artificial islands

| Accidents in Dubai |
 |
This is a short compilation clip of some of
the accidents that take place in Dubai on a
daily basis. Some of these are pretty
shocking and you can only help but think,
"What the hell were these idiots
thinking??!!!"
Hope the local government can do something to
stop morons from trying to squeeze between
two cars at breakneck speed on a highway!
(You'll see what I mean when you watch the
video!)

| BBC News - Dubai plans 'moving' skyscraper |

The world's first moving building, an
80-storey tower with revolving floors giving
a shifting shape, will be built in Dubai, its
architect says.
The Dynamic Tower design is made up of 80
pre-fabricated apartments which will spin
independently of one another.
"It's the first building that rotates, moves,
and changes shape," said architect David
Fisher, who is Italian, at a news conference
in New York.
"This building never looks the same, not once
in a lifetime," he added.
The 420-metre (1,378-foot) building's
apartments would spin a full 360 degrees, at
voice command, around a central column by
means of 79 giant power-generating wind
turbines located between each floor.
The slender building would be energy
self-sufficient as the turbines would produce
enough electricity to power the entire
building and even feed extra power back into
the grid, said the Italian architect at the
unveiling of the project in New York.
The apartments, which will take between one
and three hours to make a complete rotation,
will cost from $3.7m to $36m.
There are also plans to build a similar,
70-storey skyscraper in Moscow.
"I call these buildings designed by time,
shaped by life," said the Florence-based
architect, who has never built a sky-scraper
before.
"These buildings will open our vision all
around, to a new life."
The skyscraper will cost an estimated $700m
to build and should be up and running in
Dubai in 2010.
