World's First Rotating, Shape-shifting Tower Planned For Dubai by KTC1: 9:29pm On Feb 20, 2017
World's first rotating, shape-shifting tower planned in Dubai.

Dubai is home to many man-made wonders: The world's largest man-made island, the world's largest shopping mall, the world's tallest building.

It may soon be adding a new one -- the world's first rotating skyscraper.

It's the brainchild of architect David Fisher of Dynamic Architecture.
Fisher envisions an 80-story, 1,273-foot tower in Dubai with floors that can rotate 360 degrees in both directions. He said he got the idea for a rotating tower that continuously changes shape more than a decade ago while staring out of the Olympic Tower in New York.
"I noticed that from a certain spot you could see the East River and the Hudson River, both sides of Manhattan," he said on Dynamic Architecture's website. "That is when I thought to myself: 'Why don't we rotate the entire floor? That way, everybody can see both the East River and the Hudson River, as well as Saint Patrick's Cathedral!'"
