Dubai and Moscow's Moving Skyscrapers

Back


NOTE: I did not make this video. It is the video produced by the architectural firm behind this building.

David Fisher's company 'Dynamic Architecture' have developed a moving skyscraper! The building will be made up of 80 floors, with an apartment on each floor.

The rotating building is made possible by 79 giant power-generating wind turbines.

As well as the rotation, the wind turbines will also provide enough energy to power the entire building and feed extra energy back into the grid.

There are two buildings planned at the moment. One in Dubai and one in Moscow. The Dubai building is planned to be up and running by 2010.

thats what i was thinking but all the plumbing will probably be in the center in the same shaft as with the elevator

it wont cuz the whole building is a wind turbine like a wind mill. so it will produce its own energy and still have enough left over to give to the rest of the community
