Dubai is famous for skyscrapers.
A new building is coming up in Dubai where
each floor would rotate 360 degrees and the building has 68 floors.
Watch out the video and photo at
Really amazing :shock: :shock: :shock:
What a great idea :idea: :idea: :idea:

^ u are just jealous because Dubai is the best and finest city in the world, where only the most excellent deserve to live not haters like u.

Look around Dubai...you can see a lot of skscrapers every where..
From Wikipedia :
A skyscraper is a very tall, continuously habitable building. Although there is no uniform official definition or a precise cutoff height above which a building may clearly be classified as a skyscraper, a minimum height of 100 meters or approximately 330 feet (the equivalent of 25 to 30 stories) may constitute a safe criterion for such a qualification.

I'm not sure an animated YouTube video on a blog is really the same as an actual building. It IS a cool idea.
I think more people would be impressed with a road system that wasn't a nightmare.

they will also have a 'talking building" and a "singing building" they are having some trouble wid the "walking building" it is too hot and they can't find the right shoes for it.

It is going to build in Duabi, and it is designed by a David Fisher, an Italian-Israeli architect, planning for it

Is it enclosed it's it's own little bubble, so all that nasty smoke doesn't escape and you only poison yourselves?

If that thing is gonna rotate like that.. for any of that patterns to look like a pattern... its gonna be one dizzying place. :) You get another value add.... all ppl who work there can get their wheat grinding done free of cost.. We can even get Dosa/Idly/ Appam mix done there for free.
Another thing.. some great business opportunities for satellite antenna/ communication equipment vendors.... Still cant figure out what would they do with all the potties..

what do u girls feel after looking at skyscraper in first place ? Are they not seducing :P
When i clicked on link , i thought its some porno web site or someone is selling the spare parts of human body :roll:

Actually, you're the ones in the bubble - on the other side of the prison, we will have freedom!

This building takes 90 minutes to complete a single rotation !!!
Sit and relax!!!

It's a dumbass idea.

Dubai not Rocks, it rotates
Francheska
The sensational Rotating Residences is the world’s first luxury tower with four rotating penthouses and a rotating villa on its top floor, each giving a fabulous 360º panoramic view. Set in the beautiful Jumeirah Village South, the exclusive Tower is a landmark building with an astonishing villa on the 15th floor and four penthouses, all providing truly exceptional accommodation. View from the top The Rotating Residences villa really is unique. It offers a living area over two floors, its own swimming pool, a tranquil landscaped garden, its own private car and passenger lift, and three car parking bays on the roof top. The 7,000 sq ft penthouses are located on the 11th to 14th floor. All the residences can revolve at four different speeds, from once in 3 hours to once in 12 hours, depending on individual choice.
Prime position
The prestigious new Tower – due for completion in 2008 - has been aptly described as ‘serenity in a city’. It provides stunning views, including one of Dubai’s finest palace gardens, and is located at the end of a large boulevard with easy access to two main roads. It is only minutes away from the Dubai Media Production Zone, Dubai Internet City and Jebel Ali Free Zone. Marketed by Signature Properties Worldwide and built to exacting standards by the respected developers Ali Moosa, the tower provides first-rate facilities including a leading-edge gym and health club, a world-class swimming pool, lifts with resident-only access and top-flight security.

A series of rotating buildings based on Dynamic Architecture will be
built around the world, starting in Dubai, U.A.E. The Dynamic
Architecture concept was introduced by Florentine architect David
Fisher.The rotating buildings [VIDEO ] get their electrical 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.Each individual floor is able to rotate
slowly, based on commands issued by the owners of condos or apartments
on that floor. I assume that the building owners can also take
control, for coordinated movements of the floors. Note that the
rotation of the floors is slow and uses power - the rotation of the
floors does not produce power.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 (see illustration).
The builder claims that rotating buildings can be constructed by just
ninety people on the construction site; compare this to the typical
skyscraper construction site, which may have up to 2,000 workers at a
time.
Construction dates for the first building have not yet been announced,
but the first one will be built in Dubai. Pre-fabricated units for the
tower will be produced in a facility set up in Jebel Ali (a port 35
kilometers southwest of Dubai). The same units will then be shipped to
eleven other major cities, including Moscow, Milan, New York and
Tokyo, where similar towers will rise.
Science fiction writers have also made some use of the idea of
rotating buildings. In his eccentric 1972 novel The Godmakers, Frank
Herbert writes about a rotating house:
"Lewis was just telling me how our place is very much like his home on
Chargon," Polly said.
"Old-fashioned, but we like it that way," Bullone said. "I don't like
the modern trend in architecture. Too mechanical. Give me an old-
fashioned tetragon on a central pivot every time."
(Read more about the rotating house)
For an overview of the rotating building and a quick look at the
dynamic architecture that underlies it, take a look at this video.
Be sure to take a look at another "green" (that is, ecology-minded)
Dubai building, one that was inspired by an ancient Middle Eastern
design - Burj al-Taqa Dubai Energy Tower - High Tech Badgir.
