DA VICIN ROTATING TOWER, DUBAI
Da Vinci Tower in Dubai will have a mechanism that allows each floor to rotate autonomously through voice activated technology. Residents can harness the daylight and change their panorama by selecting the speed of a complete rotation, which lasts one to three hours. It's also expected to become a miracle in architecture.
The 80-storey "Dynamic Tower," will be a shifting skyscraper of luxury apartments on spinning floors, which will be attached to a central column.
Plans for the project were unveiled in New York by Italian architect David Fisher, who said: "This building will have endless different shapes".
The 420-meter (1,378-foot) building features 80 apartments that spin a full 360 degrees around a central column by means of 79 power-generating wind turbines located between each floor.
The apartments will take between one and three hours to make a complete rotation, and at 30,000 dollars (£15,254) per square meters, will cost between 3.7 million (£1.8 million) to 36 million dollars (£18 million).
The Building would be energy self sufficient and cost about 700 million dollars (£355 million) to build.
