[@DrunkenUFOPilot]

A conversation in an offices on the 49th floor - "Thank you for coming to this interview. Your resume impresses us. First question we have for you: how are you with motion sickness?"

[@nadion79]

You can enter and exit by the ground floor, which does not move. There is a central column that does not move either, which houses the elevator shaft. The building does not actually rotate that quickly - each floor only moves a few inches per hour so in reality you probably wouldn't even notice. You wake up with one view, then fall asleep to another. Each floor rotates independently and has controls that can regulate it.

[@lovedogs1999]

I can already see Tom Cruise sliding down the side of it.

xd ikr

[@jordanashe7656]

Imagine the Dwayne Johnson skyscraper movie but with this

[@Kulraj_Singh]

😂

[@ImOnTheTube]

I love the concept. It's not new; it's existed before, but not on such a large scale. The building is sustainable and harmonious. It is shaped by nature. It reflects the waves. It improvises. Absolutely beautiful. Never mind is built for the elite and most people will never realize it's beauty, but its a start. We will see many more other amazing ideas come to existence in this century. Its a new architectural era, and I'm very happy to be a part of it :)

[@StS9LBJ23]

This concept is mind blowing! I hope to see it done in my lifetime.

no matter how many times I see it, I'm always feeling 'wow'. Beautiful! Bravo to all people who dream, create and win:))!

[@MrNuts70]

Absolutly amazing! Would be so exciting to live there!

[@OGSoundFX]

June 2020... still no sign of it. And Dubai is not really looking to be in the best of shape lately.

[@nzuri5459]

Finally, it has been launched

[@aerithwings]

Read the description: "It will also generate electric energy for itself." Furthermore, on the website it says, "The Dynamic Tower is environmentally friendly, with the ability to generate electricity for itself as well as other buildings nearby making it the first building designed to be self-powered, it achieves this feat with wind turbines fitted between each rotating floor. An 80-story building will have up to 79 wind turbines, making it a true green power plant."

[@ThePhenomeNation]

I've been ready for the future for so long. BRILLIANT! Only believe and ignore the skeptics (they're like wet blankets - no solutions - just critque). BRAVO!

[@kerengerm]

wow, this video and that idea made my skin crawl! this far is our technique now- wow!

[@toranggurning1346]

i bet would be difficuilt to get inside the building

[@toranggurning1346]

Lol

[@pega17pl]

Either you stay inside or you stay outsde. ;-)

[@Spartacus.D]

people people! it will not br that fast in real life, i think it would be a huge sucess i mean how many people would want to see a rotating building?

[@Venganza_]

But I mean, it would probably malfunction pretty quick, you would need a lot of moving parts and computer programs to synchronize it's rotation.

[@Spartacus.D]

true...hopefully it doesnt break

[@esther231]

Really interesting. I love how the world changes and then changes again.

[@bie33192]

this dynamic building inspire me to fullfil my dream of being one of the famous architects in the world... i am really amazed of it!! Thanks for this video..

[@sarahazmi9943]

got it dearie?

THAT IS SHO AWESOME

[@15MaRyGaiL15]

woah!!!! is this really possible?!?! my friends just told me about this... and now i've seen it... i was like "wow!!!" when this establishment is done, one of my dream would be going to that place and take a lot of pictures of it and of course, go inside it. can't wait to see this for real. Good Job!!. :)

[@mkoomar]

great concept, every new thing in this world at first looks difficult but one should appretiate that there is someone working for these type of a building.ONE HAS TO IMAGINE FIRST TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE, IF THE DESIGNER HAS IMAGINED IT HOPE HE WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

[@iceshake3950]

Thats amazing!!!my dad works at dubai!!!i wonder if he saw this?

[@HarmonixHealing]

it doesn't really exist

[@verticalkoala1264]

It is a concept.

[@basmasonbol1395]

can we please focus here this is completely pointless do something useful with your money and oh-so-amazing engineering skills, Dubai.

[@deidraluv2sing]

really cool! can’t wait to see it happen!!!

[@Nightmarefhk]

the tower has rotor blades between every level, so it uses wind energy to create power and becomes its own supplier. there are also plans for dynamic hulls, leading wind in the building during summer times and sealing warmth in the winter. this is very interesting for areas were there are drastical changes of temperatures throughout the year. the builing alters from season to season, thats the future

[@thefunnrunner]

would be fun to se somone climb it

[@kevinhodgson2764]

What if someone hacked into their systems and changed the rotation speed? I imagine something similar to when you stick motorbike wheel on the edge of a roundabout and accelerate XD

[@coolnoah8183]

Kevin Hodgson You know that having the option to spin fast probably wont even be physically possible or available right?

[@K00gr]

If you can imagine something like this then thats the real achievement! This building is amazing, I would love to see it when its completed, I wanna know how it works, who was the genius who came up with it!!!! This is the reason I wanna be in architecture.

[@Just_A_Guy_Here.]

14 years later, still no rotating building, ha.

[@KeikaStrife]

I was just thinking the exact same thing. You took the words right out of my brain.

[@chrismoran2010]

Once the oil runs out they will be back in the sand

[@gosucalime]

Lol, ass hole. Dubai is actually turning it's country into a tourist hub so they'll still have a great source of income after oil.

[@chrismoran2010]

Ebeneezer stark Your right. Because wealthy tourist that can afford to pay premium want to got to the most uncomfortable place's imaginable.

[@gosucalime]

Chris Moran You clearly no nothing about Dubai if ''uncomfortable' is how you would describe it. Please look it up.

[@chrismoran2010]

Shit hole

[@gosucalime]

Chris Moran You didn't do your research did you?

[@lahirsantoso]

how to define Qibla? :)

[@BrisbaneDevelopment]

Wow brilliant! We should all take note of this towers environmentally sustainable characteristics like the wind power generation.

[@7AN0O0N]

WOOOOOOOOOW BRILLIANT .. can't wait to see one of those .. it's going to be a changing poin in the architecture field .. AMAZIIIIIIING AND CREATIVE .. DAVID FISHER YOU TOTALLY HAVE MY ADMIRATION ;) ....

[@mindseye713]

... seems like a massive waste of energy that could be put to better use... even if enough solar,wind,hydro etc type of electrical generators were created to keep this tower in motion... just seems kind of wasteful. Don't get me wrong its an awesome concept and everything but just... too indulgent.

[@maggiedosg]

i agree and it would be probably extremely expensive

[@pdrohrtdo9756]

gipsyworld Well, remember is Dubai. nothing is expensive enough.

[@Crazyjazy2012]

eco friendly

[@coolnoah8183]

gipsyworld Its said to be built in a manner that is less expensive than regular skyscrapers. And yeah the money might be better put somewhere else, but so would yours, and I dont see you throwing all your money at charities and such, just like many people dont, so get off the high horse

[@kp5602]

Why do you care then?

[@SamuelSGBailey]

i'd hate it if you could get motion sickness from it

[@MyUsername156]

At that start that looks so bloody cool

[@Sjabackwards]

What would be cool if they just made a structure that did this movement really fast. I would be fascinating to really see. It looks so amazing!!!

[@gosucalime]

Like if Matthew Santoro brought you here.

[@IGEKT]

Hmmm.....Damn dubai you so out of this world....but i need to research it even further

[@manof1000voices]

@skineater911 ...no, the wind is constantly blowing on the sea shore, thats why there are no plans to put these anywhere other than sea side, its supposed to be an energy efficient building, so being able to tell it you want it to spin would use extreme amounts of electricity. they is prolly a break to stop or slow it, but the spinning is up to the wind.

[@FWWS1]

Interesting idea and beautiful video...

[@edibola-5592]

You have to time your enterence, (gets hit by door and dies)

[@nikessig91]

how da hell did they do that

[@Venganza_]

It hasn't been built yet.

[@HarmonixHealing]

its called computer animation

[@davidsakumoto]

this is completely out of this world and is a new revelation for the art of architecture- coming from a 17 year old.

[@helloworldstein]

For those who aren't particularly knowledgeble in architecture and have questions: 1. This tower would not only generate its own power, but enough surplus to power a few nearby buildings as well. 2. No, you wouldn't feel sick from the rotation. 3. It should theoretically be cheaper to build since the parts are prefabricated then assembled at the site. 4. These building would be very efficient in the summer and winter. 5. Much safer to build than normal skyscrapers.

[@opollo]

I can see it being a huge failure, can you imagine all those with motion sickness throwing up at the sight of this building never mind those inside!

[@IGEKT]

2 words : SEWAGE PIPES !!? for crying out loud 😩

[@cedriccaron5047]

+Rhino ZR What if they are actually turning with the tower

[@goldaria9228]

There is a central hub where all the main power lines water lines sewer lines elevator would be I think

[@MMradnane]

According to my calculations, the rotation would purge the shit out of the pipes out of building. A huge shit blasting spinner.

[@brekdakbanchamek6454]

I thin kthe Sewage Pipes would be place at the very center of the Building where it's known to be fully functioned if the pipelines are put in the axis of the building

[@majood95]

@AFiiiZZl3 it doesnt rotate too fast, its actually rather slow, but they sped it up in the video cause they wanted to show their point.

[@hahmchangyoung190]

what a wonderful building!

[@TheHolroyds]

What the heck

[@IGEKT]

if this thing even works... it would last for like 3 days then malfunction .... sorry for being a downer

[@wavy5286]

Rhino ZR that's an ugly car

[@darthcolonius]

Stuff like this is so cool to me since i want to be an Architect when I'm old enough.

[@shimtyaryan409]

So after 13yrs. Did you became architect??

[@HeyYouFlex]

its an amazing building and it is just beautiful! it will make any city more beautiful and will bring us close to that "future" look we all can't wait for!! Like they say, the future is now! and we arestarting to build it up and up untill we reach 100%! When they build one here in NYC i will be sure to buy a room!!

[@mfacktor]

It functions as any other skyscraper and is currently being constructed. It has a revolutionary design and is completely practical.

[@Linkmaster45]

i really like this idea here. maybe not so much for a skyscraper, but a smaller scale. maybe for something decorative like a fountain or something.

[@wolkowy1]

Amazing!

[@Dizzy1612]

This is awesome, the future is here!

[@kivylius]

this is so amazing

[@qmccray]

@Awsomeguy011 Simple all the units revolve around a center column cylinder. The elevator would in it allowing people to move up and down. Every floor moves individually.

[@barryschwarz]

I figure lifts/stairs will be in a static centre hub, with an open plan lobby area on each floor that encompasses both inner and outer rings. Outer ring moves slow enough to be safe stepping on to it - it's safe to stand over the swivel of a split bus, for example. The enormous expense will be worth it for the engineering knowledge gained in construction - and for the art, technology and functionality conspiring to realize the imagination of the human spirit.

[@behruzrahimjonov9962]

Check out the details: "It will also be able to produce its own electricity." In addition, according to the website, "The Dynamic Tower is ecologically beneficial, as it can produce electricity for itself and other adjacent structures, making it the first skyscraper intended to be self-powered. Wind turbines are installed between each revolving level to accomplish this feat. A real green power plant will be an 80-story structure with up to 79 wind turbines."

[@goddessecouture]

Actually, the building's motion is entirely powered by wind turbines on every floor. It's completely green. Movement is controlled as desired by the residents, as each floor moves independently. There also is a lift that allows the condo owners to park their car in their own apartment!

[@KidKobun]

They will if the building rotates at the speed it does in the video. In actuality it will probably make only a few full rotations a day if that. I would love to have a place there. Amazing design/concept.

[@9aspengold5]

I lived in an apartment on stilts near the Ocean. Trying to get used to the dizziness everytime the apartment moved in the wind was terrible. I can't imagine being in constant motion as seen here.

[@ivo35]

thats amazing i really hope they do it

[@ohworldgirl]

that's got to be dubai where this is going to be built. It's looks like a treat from the inside to revolve around and have 360 degree views

[@ArcanineKing]

@trandoductin Dynamic engineering is also designing the buildings to put up wind propellers between each floor to generate electricity for the city and the building itself. Considering how many floors and how many propellers are there, one building could power up 1/4th (my best guess) of the entire city! Imagine what four buildings could do. : )

[@CharmingHome]

spettacolare!

[@TheBoyArchitect]

Pretty amazing design

[@Sigma9870]

wow if it really does generate it's own electricity then this is awesome on a whole new level

[@UniSystemsKineticArchitecture]

There is a "kinetic architecture" competition open on the unisystemsllc channel here on KZbin. Grand Prize is an iPad. Winner announced at AIA in Miami.

[@tomsweisiong]

awesome i like it the design future.more forward,

[@dbrocksyoursocks]

It spins a lot slower than you'd imagine, but I think you can adjust it's speed (in fixed, slow, gears though).

[@AnimeMangaFreak222]

TOTALLY AWESOME. I wonder what it would be like to live in there.

[@fassola80]

This design belongs to the italian designer David Fisher, and the first building will take place in Dubai in 2010 (80 floors=420m), and another one in Moscow in 2011 (contains 70 floors = 400m)

[@helloworldstein]

@grossstadtindianer Yes they are, they are suppose to generate enough energy to sustain the buildings rotating mechanisms and even some of the (if not all/most) electricity used by the suites.

[@skineater911]

@manof1000voices as far as i know, there is a control on every floor so if u want ur appartment rotating, u select how much, at what time, or if all the time.. so i dont think u can command the wind to rotate your floor or not to rotate it

[@AuroraCelestine]

so cool!! I would want to live there just because it looks so pretty XD

[@mfacktor]

It is currently being constructed. It has been designed many years ago; that's why a visual model of the building is in the video.

[@nafsiponds]

The visuals are based upon the dynamic tower which is to be built in Dubai designed by the italian architect David Fisher.

[@DesignGoBrr]

the center of the tower is stable. The gas/water pipes were the biggest problem, so they decided to use smth similar to the pipes the military use to refill aircrafts with fuel while they are flying.

[@manof1000voices]

@themoviekidownz its generating electricity for itself because the wind is pushing the panels and rotating, making something like a blade-less wind turbine. its not moving itself, the wind is.

[@porkodimagendiran8304]

No one can beat human's brain this architecture engineer might be. Beyond the world

[@epije08]

omg architecture at its best!!

[@Mickfly718]

it looks cool in the video. however the actual building will have to move much much slower so that the accelerations aren't easily perceptible. the building will probably look like it's not moving at all, then when you look back after some time, it has changed shape slightly. it will be a good building to do a time lapse video of though.

[@TheJesusaurusrex]

nice idea however it could not go back and forth like that, it would have to be constant or very gradually changing motion else people would be falling over inside, it couldnt possibly produce its own energy though it may well be powered by renewable sources but thats not the same thing, also surely the mechanics of this would be very very loud with the entire tower moving? i think its a cool idea but am very skeptical as to whether todays technology can pull it off

[@filinan550]

tats crazy!! i wonder how it will maintain its stability with constant motion

[@Dizzy1612]

This is awesome

[@Coops1985]

this is great! will they pull it of though? unbelievable!

[@MaxZUber]

it moves to look awesome

[@bellaggio1770]

Sephyrius If you're clueless about something, refrain yourself from commenting. This tower is the first of its kind in construction, as it is made of pre-fabricated modules and assembled quickly on the site.

[@imegatrone]

I Really Like The Video From Your This Dynamic Architecture building by David Fisher will be constantly in motion changing its shape. It will also generate electric energy for itself.

[@63echo]

@zenoglobal99 yes but the inertia exerted on the inner superstructure would be catastrophic when applied over and over again

[@cronos51101]

That is reall, wild, my only concern is that it may be difficult to set up stairs and elevators so that they can be reached at all times.

[@serro_1990]

seen rumors of an appartment in one of those costing something like 40 million. Great idea, lets cram in all the wealthiest people of the world into this thing so it could go down in history just like the trade centre of america

[@gspahr]

@feartoilet You have a point, and I agree to it, that's fine. What I actually meant is that we need to move towards a non-wasting model of architecture, can you imagine how much electric power would this building waste just for the fun of rotating each floor separately? Is it really necessary to fully enjoy the view?

[@LJR0ck]

How about the noise of the rotating blocks? It may be a slow rotation speed, but still... And the building provides itself with energy? Block rotation + household included? I think it is a very sweet concept

[@WabiEagle]

2010 A Space Odyssey is here. These are great and look like alien technology. Another wonder of the world.

[@artemis360]

Energy has been added to the equation actually. There's wind turbines between the levels that power the movement.
