The world’s first rotating 4D skyscraper in Dubai
The World’s first rotating 420 meters high tower, with an environmentally friendly dynamic architecture by David Fisher will be in motion changing its shape every second and will generate electric energy for itself.
The kinetic architecture design concept though which buildings are designed to allow parts of the structure to move, without reducing overall structural integrity and will transform, mechanised structures change with climate or on-demand. The building’s capability for motion is used to enhance its aesthetic qualities to perform impossible functions for a static structure with effective combined use of mechanics, electronics and robotics.
Already kinetic architecture had emerged in functional buildings such as bridges which can elevate their midsection to allow tall ships to pass or stadiums with retractable roofs such as Wembley Stadium, Veltins –arena or Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
The transformer futuristic style changes of shape with a visually stunning appearance. An early instance of kinetic architecture existed in the drawbridge..
The £526m, 1, 375 foot rotating skyscraper in Dubai is totally innovative will open in 2020, featuring 80 floors, with individual floors that independently rotate a full 360 degrees, powered by 79 wind turbines fitted between each floors with solar panels attached to the roof, proposed by Israeli-Italian architect David Fisher Each building unit will be prefabricated and attached to a stationary core which will act as the elevator shaft. This will become the first 4D skyscraper in the world as each of its floors will be able rotate responding to command.
