The First World Dynamic Architecture in DuBai Project

this S**t will collapse sooner or later

This is really really cool but I agree with the guy below me...1900 people don't deserve to loose their jobs.

No wonder the economy is taking a crap...

anyone who thinks this actually might work is a complete retard. im not sure if you idiots realise this, but buildings are made of tons (a ton is 2000lbs for those of you who live in arkanas) of steel. 77 little dinky wind turbines will NOT let 78 floors move 24/7. sry, but this idea fails. good bye.

I don't understand why they have to build such a uber expensive building while other people don't even have a normal house. But it looks quite cool though^^

I'm zizzy already. Feed the hungry.

1. The center can be used for elevators, plumbing, access to turbines.

2. The turbines would be built on the higher floors; low turbines would be near useless. Birds already get hit by current turbines.

4. Again, plumbing and cables would go through the central column. However, you do have a point: I have no idea how they would attach to a rotating platform.

5. As in window washing? Not sure, there would probably be a "standstill day" where that takes place, and all rooms must stay still.

so they are saying 1900 hard working americans will lose their jobs because of this new technology? F**k you.

77 wind turbines cant power a moving building, just supplying normal electrical use would be nearly impossible. Turbines are still relatively inefficient there will need huge mounts of extra power from outside sources. Cool idea but it a long way into the future.

It will work i think they will do anything to make it work as they did for "Burj-ul-Arab", "Burj Dubai", "Palm Tree Islands" I'm sure i'll see this building rotating in Dubai

why the fuckin hell would we sink quadrillions of dollars into this sort of thing if there are people dying all around the world and we could help them with that money instead?

intresting....I want to know more about this project :D do you know wher can I find a plan of this building, whit some details?

So the buildong that can create it's own energy and takes less ppl to build is stupid, and useles ? Im sure the core will have emergency stairs and all the necesarry things.Think of it, if a building can supply energy for itself and even for other buildings there will be no more use for all those other powerplants.This particular building will be expensive because it is a LUXURY building.

Great concept - powers itself, powers loads of other stuff. Looks really cool. Definitely a step forward in building design.

It a fantasy concept with many challenges ahead:

1. It seems it will require huge fixed central column to counter loads like wind in order to gain small rotating rooms on the outskirt, but what space usages designed for the central column?

2. The turbines produce less energy closer to the ground and possibly not enough to rotate all floors with possible bird strike.

4. Connection between floors like lift, emergency exit (stairs), plumbing, electrics, cables and etc.

5. Maintenance.

im pretty sure its one apt per floor
