Dubai Moving Skyscraper

 

Behold the exquisiteness of future architecture.  This amazing tower will revolve around a pillar of concrete allowing owners to rotate a full 360 degrees on power generated from (get this)… wind turbines.  They will be built into each unit so that the floors can be controlled with the flick of a remote control.  So much power that engineers believe they can generate enough extra to pump back into the city. 

 

If you’ve ever visited Atlanta’s own spinning restaurant and bar; Sun Dial, I am sure it will be similar to this – just on a much larger scale.  One would think, after a couple of glasses of wine this may not be the most ideal location.  It will take each floor approximately 1-3 hours to complete a full rotation.  So I don’t think a dose of Dramamine would be necessary.  Each unit ranges in price from $4-37 million dollars and I’m sure the view will make it worth every penny.  Imagine waking up over the Persian Gulf with a slightly different view each morning.  Below is a short clip demonstrating how the structure can be choreographed to create a beautiful work of art in motion.  Hopefully by 2010 I’ll have my $4 million deposit. 

Now I can sleep tight with visions of Dubai dancing through my head…

 Good night,
