The rotating skyscrapers will mark the beginning of a new era in the architecture, a challenge to the traditional architecture. The rotating buildings will define the start of a new conception in architecture: a concept of Buildings in motion, in contradiction with the same idea of real estate, that it is at heart of every construction
The concept of was first introduced by Florentine architect David Fisher and the process of building the first ever rotating building is about to start and it is going to be in Dubai. ( This was supposed to be completed in 2012 but for some reasons, the process hasn't yet started).
What makes them truly amazing is that they are Eco-friendly and that self-powered besides they can rotate. Besides, they will need much less time and labor to build. Besides, the cost of building is significantly low compared to concrete buildings.
Each individual floor is able to rotate independently and in sync with other floors. It has been said that the building will never look the same twice in its entire life.
Rotating skyscrapers get the power from wind turbines that are placed between floors and which rotate freely with the wind. The energy generated will be enough to power four other such buildings.
The building is constructed around a central cylindrical core. Each floor is composed of individual sections that are fitted around the core. Except the core, all other materials are factory made and are later brought to the site of construction.
