A Room with a View

"The Dynamic Tower, the world's first building in motion, will become a symbol of Dubai, the City of the Future," states the Dynamic Architecture website.

Construction is set to begin very soon on Dubai's Rotating Skyscraper.
Interesting concept, I think its an awesome idea that the view is shared by all tenants. At first, I was a little apprehensive about the waste of energy required, but then I read further, that wind turbines and solar cells will be positioned between each floor, which are supposed to provide enough electricity to power at least the entire building, possibly even neighboring buildings...

It should take about one hour to see the entire (360 degree) skyline view of Dubai. The architect David Fisher calls it "a green power plant," way to get with the times!


Price range on these condos start at $3 million to $30 million - and there are already 1,100 people on the waiting list for these 200 apartments. There will also be a drive in elevator that allows all tenants to park directly outside their suite, yummy, sharing the recycled condo air with car emissions, weaksauce!
