Italian Architect David Fisher's latest building in Dubai makes me sick. Not because it's unattractive, but because it actually rotates. And I have severe motion sickness. Dramamine needs aside, The Dynamic Rotating Tower is no longer a potential project; it's begun construction and is soon to be a reality.

With such wild land developments as The World shaped private islands, the Palm and ambitious unusual architecture like The Burj Al Arab luxury hotel, Dubai is fast becoming a looky loo's paradise of building and architecture design design.
The latest addition is the Dynamic Rotating Tower by David Fisher. It's the first rotating skyscraper to be self powered and completely prefabricated.

The company has also revealed the design and floor plans of the rotating building which will have 80 floors and be 420 meters (1,380 feet) tall.
Apartments will range in size from 124 square meters (1,334 SF), to Villas of 1,200 SM (12,916 SF) complete with a parking space inside the apartment.
Each floor rotates independently to create a building that constantly changes shape, resulting in a unique and ever evolving architectural structure.
The Dynamic Tower is environmentally friendly, with the ability to generate electricity for itself as well as other buildings nearby making it the first building designed to be self-powered, it achieves this feat with wind turbines fitted between each rotating floor.

Each floor will rotate independently at different speeds, resulting in a unique and forever evolving shape.
The Dynamic Tower will continually reshape, allowing the sun to both rise and set from the same view. The buildings can also be adjusted to the season, the weather, or to capture a special moment.
Luxury penthouse villas, which will be over 1,000 square meters (11,000 square feet), will be completely custom-made to fulfill individual buyer's personal needs, they will also include an indoor swimming pool, voice activated features, demotic control systems, built in phone system and any other special desire, all custom made.
