In Moscow and Dubai, skyscrapers with rotating floors should be built

New York - When architect David Fisher saw the magnificent view of Manhattan from his friend's apartment, he came up with the idea of maximizing the benefits of a prime location - and came up with a rotating building. Now Fisher hopes to complete the so-called dynamic towers in Moscow and Dubai by the end of 2010 - prefabricated, sun and wind-powered skyscrapers, whose shape will constantly change as the individual floors rotate around a central axis.
    The designers of the 70-story building for Moscow have already received the green light, and the 80-story skyscraper in Dubai is awaiting approval, reports Reuters. Instead of one rotating floor, which several buildings worldwide already have, all floors in Fisher's towers will rotate. The architect, based in Florence and originally from Israel, who has not built any skyscrapers so far, has stated that he would like to construct a third dynamic high-rise building in New York as well. However, he reportedly does not have a specific plan for such a project yet.
    "I call it a machine for living," he said at a press conference in New York.
    The construction of the Moscow rotating tower is being handled by the Russian real estate company Mirax Group, while the planned Dubai skyscraper is being managed by Fisher's company Rotating Tower Technology Company.
    In addition to swimming pools and gardens, the buildings will also feature elevators for cars, allowing owners to park directly in front of their apartments. It is believed that the towers will generate enough electricity for their own needs and for other nearby buildings using solar panels and wind turbines, installed horizontally between the floors.
    People who own an entire floor will be able to control the rotation with just their voice, with the option to choose the rotation speed from one to three hours for a full 360-degree turn.
    The technical advisor for Fisher's project is Leslie Robertson, who was the structural engineer for New York's World Trade Center, which fell victim to a terrorist attack on September 11, 2001.
