Dubai is like an open-air competition for architects from all over the world. Here are the tallest skyscrapers in original designs with an abundance of the most modern engineering solutions. In 2007, an incredible report appeared in the press - a rotating tower would be built in Dubai.
From idea to project
The Green Environmental Tower project was developed by the Italian construction company Dynamic Architecture. It is worth noting that movable buildings are being developed and prepared for construction around the world today. And yet, the tower, which is planned to be erected in Dubai, has a number of features. The main author of the project - engineer David Fisher - declares that he is building the housing of the future. The original concept of the building assumes the mobility of each floor with the possibility of making a full turn. At the same time, the skyscraper will have a central fixed core, in which elevators, stairs and all communications necessary for a comfortable existence will be placed. The project quickly received an unofficial name - Dynamic Tower. The author himself compares his creation with a woman slowly moving in dance. revolving towerin Dubai will allow the owners of the premises to radically change the view from the windows to suit their own mood. At the same time, the general appearance of the building will also be constantly changing. In plan, the skyscraper does not have round shapes, while each floor moves independently of its neighbors.
The smartest home in the world
The place where the eighty-story Dynamic Tower will be built has already been determined. The rotating tower should appear very soon near Sheikh Zayed Road. According to the project, the total height of the building will be about 420 meters. Inside the skyscraper will be located luxury apartments, offices, restaurants, shops and other public institutions. At the same time, each floor will have a separate owner. For buyers, the greatest interest should be the opportunity to watch the sunset and sunrise from the same room in full glory, as well as change the panorama from the windows to suit the mood. Another feature of the project is its significant autonomy. A modern skyscraper will generate electricity in excess of its own needs. Energy wind turbines will be placed between the movable floors, and solar panels are planned to be installed on the roof of the building.
How will the rotating tower (Dubai, United Arab Emirates) be built?
As conceived by David Fisher, only the central fixed part of the building will be erected in the traditional way. The moving floors and other elements that will make up the rotating tower will be prefabricated at a factory in Italy. At the chosen location inDubai will only have to assemble the floors of a skyscraper from separate triangular sections. According to the calculations of engineers, it will take no more than three days to build one level with this technology. All necessary technical calculations have been made. The new skyscraper will impress with its ultra-modern design and high safety features. Curiously, the Dynamic Tower has better seismic stability than its fixed counterparts.
References in popular culture
It's hard to believe, but as soon as the first reports appeared in the press that a rotating tower would appear in Dubai, Dynamic Architecture began to receive messages from those who wanted to buy property in this unique building. Real sales are planned to start immediately upon the start of construction. A modern skyscraper is planned to be erected in just 18-20 months. The secret of such a high speed of construction lies in the prefabrication of about 90% of the entire building in the Italian factory. The author of the project does not get tired of maintaining interest in the mobile tower. Press conferences are regularly held and new publications appear in the press. Curiously, the Dubai rotating tower has already appeared in computer games. Forge of Empires is a prime example of this. This is a cult strategy in which every player can build their own mobile skyscraper today. Curiously, bonuses in the form of goods are given for each level of construction. The finished building producesresources just like its real prototype. We can only hope that very soon the residents and visitors of Dubai will be able to see the new attraction on the real city panorama, and not just on advertising layouts.
