Video: Admire the skyscraper project
After seeing Manhattan from a friend's apartment, architect David Fisher came up with the idea of building a building that could see the whole city, no matter which floor: it was a rotating building. .
After seeing Manhattan from a friend's apartment, architect David Fisher came up with the idea of building a building that could see the whole city, no matter which floor: it was a rotating building. .
Fisher hopes to build a rotating tower in Moscow and Dubai within two years. These are skyscrapers that are powered by wind and solar energy, changing their shape as each floor rotates around a central axis.
The Fisher project of building a 70-storey revolving building in Moscow has been approved, while the project to build an 80-storey building in Dubai is awaiting approval. Instead of just having a rotating floor, like how many buildings in the world, every floor in Fisher's building can be rotated.
Although he has never built a skyscraper, this Israeli architect said he wanted to build a third revolving building in New York, USA. However, Fisher does not yet have a specific plan for this project.
'I call this building a living machine , ' he said at a news conference in New York.

Russia's Mirax Group is the owner of Fisher's Moscow tower project, while the Dubai building is supported by Fisher Tower Rotation Technology Company.
In addition to swimming pools, gardens, rotating buildings also include a lift for cars, so residents in the building can park their cars right outside their doors.
These towers are also designed to power themselves and for buildings next to them with solar panels and wind turbines placed between each floor.
In addition, those who own a floor will only need to speak to dictate the rotation of that floor, at a speed of 1-3 hours for a spin.
Fisher's project was supported by technical advisor Leslie Robertson. Robertson was the structural engineer for the World Trade Center's twin towers in New York, the tower was knocked down in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
When asked if people living in a rotating building had dizziness or nausea, Robertson admitted, not everyone fits this type of house. 'If you are concerned about such issues, you should not stay in skyscrapers,' he said.
