Dynamic Architecture- Rotating Skyscrapers

Think of buildings which can rotate and can take a shape as per your taste. This is Dynamic Architecture for us, brought in the form of rotating skyscrapers. A series of rotating skyscrapers will be built around the world, starting in Dubai, U.A.E.

Each individual floor is able to rotate slowly, based on commands issued by the owners of condos or apartments on that floor. Coordinated movements of the floors can also be done. The rotation of the floors uses power from wind turbines that are placed between floors and which rotate freely with the wind. Additional power is provided from solar cells on the tops of the individual floors.

The building is constructed around a central core; each floor is composed of individual pie-like sections that are pre-built and hoisted up the central core. It is being claimed that rotating skyscrapers can be constructed by just ninety people on the construction site which is pretty less compared to the typical skyscraper construction site, which may have up to 2,000 workers at a time.
