The world's first moving skyscraper!

July 1, 2008

A building which actually moves, changes shape and yet manages to stay erect? Exactly!! You have probably been to many revolving restaurants, but a building that revolves floor, by floor? Yes that's exactly what David Fisher, the visionary architect and creator of the Dynamic Tower has in mind.

"Today's life is dynamic, so the space we are living in should be dynamic as well, adjustable to our needs that change continuously, to our concept of design and to our mood.

"Buildings will follow the rhythms of nature. They will change direction and shape from spring to summer, from sunrise to sunset, and even adjust themselves to the weather. In other words, buildings will be alive", said Fisher while unveiling his plan to the media in New York recently.

"From now on, buildings will have four dimensions. The fourth dimension is 'time', to be made part of architecture," Fisher further said, adding, "Buildings in motion will shape the landscape. Whether they are tall or small, residential buildings, office towers or hotels, each room will have a view."

By combining motion, green energy and efficient construction, the Dynamic Tower will change architecture as we know it, and herald a new era of 'dynamic living'.
