The building bends in the wind
A series of skyscrapers that can rotate themselves in the wind (photos) will be built around the world, starting with Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. This is an architectural style designed based on the concept of dynamic construction of architect David Fisher in Italy.
This type of building uses electricity from wind turbines placed in the middle of the floors and rotates freely according to the wind. There is also backup power from solar panels on the roof of each floor.
Basically, the building is built around the central axis, with each floor consisting of many parts like a cake stacked on the main shaft built. Accordingly, residents on the floors can turn the building slowly as desired.
In order to build this high-rise building, the contractor only needs 90 workers instead of having to mobilize 2,000 workers like in high-rise buildings. Reportedly, the first rotating building will be started in Dubai, followed by big cities like Moscow (Russia), Milan (Italy), New York (USA), Tokyo (Japan) .
