CURIOSITIES

- The entire tower is proposed to be powered from wind turbines and solar panels. That would be enough for powering five other similar sized buildings. The turbines would be located between the rotating floors and they could generate up to 1.200.00 kw-hours of energy. The solar panels are expected to cover the roof of the building and each floor.

-Fisher also says that the building will be able to identify changes in climate and temperature and regulate the energy through the building's surface and also manage the internal temperature of rooms automatically

- Dr. Fisher says each floor will only take six days to assemble around the core, once permission is granted and the concrete structures are in place, although that's still a belief

- Each of the floors have been designed with swimming pools, gardens and lifts for the cars

THE STRUCTURE AND THE BUILDING

Each floor of the Dynamic Tower is designed to rotate indepenently, changing the shape of the tower. Each floor should be able to rotate a maximum of 6 metres per minute or 360º in 90 minutes.
It's supposed to be 420 metres high with 80 floors and it should be made of glass, steel, concrete, reinforced and fabric.

It was proposed as the world's first prefrabicated skyscraper with 40 factory-built modules for each floor. It is said that 90% of the tower may be built in a factory and shipped to the construction site. This would make the skyscraper to be built quicker, althought its core, which it's supposed to support all the structure, must be built at the construction site (made of concrete). Fisher believes that the prefabricated portions would decrease the cost, the number of workers and the time invested. The workers would be in factories, working safer than in the construction site.

HISTORY

In 2008, the original schedule was with pre-fabrication and David Fisher said that the skyscraper would be finished in 2010. Later, in 2009, he postponed it one year more. He didn't want to tell where the tower would be buit because he wanted to keep it a surprise, he has never built a skyscraper before and he hasn't practised architecture in decades. It is said now that the construction started in 2009, at the end of March 2011 only foundations were built and declared on hold and is supposed to be finished in 2020.

INTRODUCTION

The "Dynamic Tower" (also known as Dynamic Architecture or The Da Vinci Tower) is a proposed 420-metre, 80-floor moving skyscraper, designed by architect David Fisher with a futural architectural style.
It's being buit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and it's still on hold. It will be used as a hotel, offices, parking garage and residences. It is supposed to cost 330 milion of United States Dollars.
