		<description><![CDATA[[ 2008-06-24; 8:00:00 AM; ] Earlier today, a Curbed NYC operative was dispatched to the Plaza, where Italian architect Dr. David Fisher gave a big reveal on designs for his Dynamic Towers, two skyscrapers— that rotate floor by floor— one slated for Dubai and the other for... Moscow. Fisher plans on erecting Dynamic Towers around the world. Up next: New York City.]]></description>

<p>This has got to be the most wild design i have ever seen&#8230; a building that will be constantly in motion.  These designs were released on Tuesday and look really wild.  All i gottah say is that i will definately need to spend one night there.</p>
<p>Its all pretty kewl&#8230; <a href="http://o2.mindactive.com/bLog/uploads/2008/06/davidfisher2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-59" title="davidfisher2" src="http://o2.mindactive.com/bLog/uploads/2008/06/davidfisher2-150x150.jpg" alt="davidfisher2 150x150 Fishers Turning Towers Revealed!" width="150" height="150" /></a> Individual floors will be manufactured off-site as pre-fab units; they&#8217;ll then be strapped, one by one, to a central core that will house the building&#8217;s engineering systems. Both <a href="http://o2.mindactive.com/bLog/keywords/towers/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Towers">towers</a> will <a href="http://o2.mindactive.com/bLog/keywords/generate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Generate">generate</a> their own <a href="http://o2.mindactive.com/bLog/keywords/electricity/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Electricity">electricity</a> with wind turbines fitted beneath each floor. Hard. Core. The Dubai building will host 80 floors&#8217; worth of mixed-use space; the top 10 floors will be occupied by <a href="http://o2.mindactive.com/bLog/keywords/luxury/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Luxury">luxury</a> &#8220;villas&#8221; with private pools, parking— and the ability to rotate the entire floor to capture the sweeping vista of their choosing. The <a href="http://o2.mindactive.com/bLog/keywords/moscow/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Moscow">Moscow</a> plan (pictured above) is still in its &#8220;<a href="http://o2.mindactive.com/bLog/keywords/conceptual-phase/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Conceptual Phase">conceptual phase</a>,&#8221; though the building is likely to include 70 units&#8217; worth of offices, residential and retail space.</p>
<p><a title="Dynamic Architecture" href="http://www.dynamicarchitecture.net/intro-high-resolution.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://o2.mindactive.com/bLog/uploads/2008/06/video-icon.png" alt="video icon Fishers Turning Towers Revealed!" title="video-icon" width="34" height="34" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-63" />Check out their high-res movie that shows how these buildings are planned to move and see the website about the whole project.</a></p>
<p>In all practicality, these buildings will make the occupants motion sick when the building floor changes direction, but it will be wild to see how they deal with that.  It is hard to believe that this is not a paramount concern for this design, and something tells me, they have a solution.</p>
