Rotating Skyscraper

It’s the first building in the world that rotates, moves, and changes shape..The Dynamic Tower ., also known as Dynamic Architecture Building (Da Vinci Tower).Height 420-metre (1,378 ft), 80-floor moving skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, designed by architect David Fisher.Similar to the Suite Vollard completed in 2001 in Brazil, Each floor will be able to rotate independently.This will result in a constantly changing shape of the tower. Each floor will rotate a maximum of 6 metres (20 ft) per minute, or one full rotation in 90 minutes.It will be the world's first prefabricated skyscraper with 40 factory-built modules for each floor.
Speciality:The entire tower will be powered from wind turbines and solar panels. Enough surplus electricity should be produced to power five other similar sized buildings in the vicinity.
The turbines will be located between each of the rotating floors.They could generate up to 1,200,000 kilowatt-hours of energy. The solar panels will be located on the roof and the top of each floor.Each of the towers have been designed with swimming pools, gardens and even lifts for cars meaning people can park outside their flats.
The Italian architect has revealed the ambitious plans to create Dynamic Towers in cities around the world with separate floors that spin 360 degrees around a concrete centre every 90 minutes. 
The first two are planned to be built in Dubai and Moscow with other cities including London, Milan, Paris, Rome, New York and Miami  on the cards too.
The 80-storey Dubai tower cost around £355million while the 70-storey Moscow tower will be developed by the Mirax Group with final costs unknown.
