World’s first moving skyscraper!
Technology has been advancing by leap and bounds, and it was only a matter of time before man came up with an idea to make your head spin….well, not just your head , but the entire body along with the building in which you are.The Dynamic Tower , an 80 storey-building, is the world’s first moving skyscraper. It offers infinite design possibilities, as each floor rotates independently at different speeds, resulting in a unique and ever evolving structure .
The Dynamic Tower in Dubai will have 80 floors, and will be 420 meters (1,380 feet) tall, apartments will range in size from 124 square meters (1,330 square feet), to villas of 1,200 square meters (12,900 square feet) complete with a parking space inside the apartment.
Villa residents will be able to drive directly into the building where a special elevator will take their car to their floor and park at the entrance to their villas.
Bathrooms will be preassembled at the Leonardo da Vinci factory in Italy, part of the Dynamic Group and will be made of precious Italian marble, sauna, Turkish bath, chromatography and sound therapy, a real treat.
The first 20 floors will be an offices, floors 21 to 35 will be a luxury hotel, floor 36 through 70 will be residential apartments, and the top 10 floors will be luxury villas located in a prime location in Dubai.
The Dynamic Tower in Dubai will be the first skyscraper to be entirely constructed in a factory from prefabricated parts. It will require only 600 people in the assembly facility and 80 technicians on the construction site instead of 2,000 workers on a similar size traditional construction site, Construction is scheduled to be completed by 2010.
