The first Dynamic Tower is set to come up in Dubai, ushering in a new era of architecture and building construction when work begins on the project.

The project designed by renowned Italian architect Dr David Fisher, is being developed by Rotating Tower Dubai Development Limited of Dynamic Group and was unveiled by the architect in New York, last month.
The mixed-use Dynamic Tower, which is set to come up on Sheikh Zayed Road according to a news report, will offer infinite design possibilities, as each floor rotates independently at different speeds, resulting in a unique and ever evolving structure that introduces a fourth dimension, Time, to architecture, says Dr Fisher.
Rising to a height of 420 m, the Dynamic Tower in Dubai will have 80 floors with  apartments ranging from 124 sq m to villas of 1,200 sq m, complete with parking spaces.
The first 20 floors will offer offices, floors 21 to 35 will house a luxury hotel, floor 36 through 70 will be residential apartments, and the top 10 floors will be luxury villas.
The Dynamic Tower in Dubai will be the first skyscraper to be entirely constructed in a factory from prefabricated parts and will require only 600 people in the assembly facility and 80 technicians on the construction site instead of 2,000 workers on a similar size traditional construction site.
Construction is scheduled to be completed by 2010.
Dynamic Tower, said to be the world's first building in motion, takes the concept of green buildings to the next level and will generate electricity for itself as well as other nearby buildings, making it the first self-powered skyscraper.
The building will generate electricity from wind turbines mounted horizontally between each floor, and typically an 80-storey building will have up to 79 wind turbines.
“The Dynamic Tower's wind turbines are practically invisible and extremely quiet due to their special shape and the carbon fibre material they are made of,” he says.
Another green element of the Dynamic Tower is the photovoltaic cells that will be placed on the roof of each rotating floor to produce solar energy, approximately 20 per cent of each roof will be exposed to the sun.
In addition, natural and recyclable materials including stone, marble, glass and wood will be used for the interior finishing.
To further improve the energy efficiency of the Dynamic Tower, insulated glass and structural insulating panels will be employed.
Energy will also be saved during construction, which involves pre-fabricating individual units in a factory.
The Fisher Method, which promises seven-day floor cycles not only reduces construction time, but also results in a cleaner construction site with limited noise, dust, fumes and waste, the shorter building time also results in a less energy consumption than traditional construction methods, he concludes.
Similar towers are also set to come up in Moscow, Canada, Germany, Italy, Korea and Switzerland.
