I dunno if any of you dudes have seen this on the news or whatever, but they’re building a freakin’ shape-shifting building over there in Dubai. Boy they sure have some huge money over there.
from CNN.com -
“The 80-story Dynamic Tower, described as the “world’s first building in motion,” will also be the first skyscraper constructed from prefabricated units, according to a press statement released by New York-based architect David Fisher’s Dynamic Group.
Each floor would be capable of rotating independently, powered by wind turbines fitted between each floor.
“You can adjust the shape the way you like every given moment,” Fisher said. “It’s not a piece of architecture somebody designed today and that’s it. It remains forever. It’s designed by life, shaped by time.”
Apartments will sell for about $3,000 per square foot, making each unit range in price from about $4 million to $40 million. Work on the tower is to be completed by 2010, according to Dynamic’s Web site.”
…… wow.
