Dubai plans "Tower in Motion"

Filed under: Asia, United Arab, News

Nothing phases me in Dubai anymore. Anything and everything is possible in this city, so when I read news like this: "Dubai plans self-powered skyscraper with individually rotating floors," I'm quite numb.

Opening para: "A $350 million tower to be known as the Dynamic Architecture building is to be constructed in Dubai. The 68-story tower will feature floors that can be individually rotated via voice commands."

So each floor of this building will rotate individually to create a building that constantly changes shape. (I've stopped asking "why" when it comes to such projects.) Also, it will use wind-turbines to generate electricity for itself and another 5 buildings its size -- that's actually pretty neat, not to mention green.

Construction will start this month and word is that a similar project is in plan for Moscow as well.
