World's first revolving tower to be built in Dubai

The world's first revolving, pre-fabricated tower is to be built in Dubai by Italian architect Dr. David Fisher with a development value of around $3 billion (Dh11 billion).

The 80-storey Dynamic tower will be 420 metres tall and located on Shaikh Zayed Road.

"The tools used today in real estate are so primitive. From 1889, steel was used to construct the Eiffel tower and then reinforced concrete was used in 1905. We are still building similar to how the Egyptians built the Pyramids," Fisher told Gulf News before the launch in New York.

The area of the Dynamic Tower in Dubai will be around 1.2 million square feet.

Fisher said there would be a central core in the tower for lifts. There will even be lifts especially for cars, so it will be possible to drive to apartments.

The Dynamic Tower offers infinite design possibilities, as each floor rotates independently to create a building that constantly changes shape, resulting in a unique and ever evolving architectural structure.

In between each rotating floor, there will be horizontal wind turbines so that the entire tower will be completely self-generating energy enough to power five other towers of similar size.

"It will only take six days to complete one floor," said Fisher. In contrast, the average time taken to complete a floor of a traditional building is around six weeks. Fisher estimated that it will only take aorund 20 months to complete the Dubai Dynamic Tower.

Average sizes of apartments range from 1,330 square feet to penthouses which will be around 12,900 square feet.

Fisher said prices will start at aorund $3,000 (Dh11,000) per square foot.

The second Dynamic Tower will be built in Moscow, with completion scheduled for 2010. Fisher said the third Dynamic Tower will probably be in New York.

Sights - Ascension day

I love the second picture which is the Middle East version of a scarecrow. No plaid and overalls here, it's a stick wearing National Dress (the Kandura and Guthra). The first picture was taken at a dam. It's hard to tell how large the mountains, and island, are.

Lunch - Ascension day

We stopped for lunch at a small town "cafeteria". These shops always have a great selection of fresh juices - it helps the fried food go down much nicer. A large carrot juice for AED10 and a large mango juice for the same price. A zinker combo for AED8 and a butterfly prawns combo for AED10. Cheap eats!

Ascension Day long weekend

We tried route #16 in our off-roading book and discovered that the border fence between the UAE and Oman, which was planned at the time of publishing, had been built which kept us from completing the journey. Not entirely disappointed, we saw farms with camels and drove in the sand. We drove past what looked like a helipad and thought it was a good place to take some snaps of the truck.
