World's first moving skyscraper in Dubai

Moving skyscrapers are tall buildings in which individual floors can rotate on its axis. The world's first such building is the Dynamic Tower, in Dubai.

The tower which will be built in Dubai is designed by an Italian architect, David Fisher. It will have a total number of 80 floors. All the floors are prefabricated and can spin 360 degrees around a central column by means of power generated by the wind turbine located between each floor. The apartments are expected to cost about $3.7 million to $36 million. The construction was expected to be completed by 2010. The projected cost of the project was 700 million dollars.
