Excerpt:
The Dynamic Tower in Dubai is the first building in motion to be constructed in the world, and it will herald a new ear of architecture and become a symbol of Dubai, the city of the future. The developer is Rotating Tower Dubai Development Limited of Dynamic Group. Created by revolutionary architect Dr. David Fisher, the mixed use of Dynamic Tower offers infinite design possibilities, as each floor rotates independently at different speeds, resulting in a unique and ever evolving structure that introduces a fourth dimension to architecture, Time. The Dynamic Tower in Dubai will have 80 floors, and will be 420 meters (1,380 feet) tall, Apartments will range in size from 124 square meters (1,330 square feet), to Villas of 1,200 square meters (12,900 square feet) complete with a parking space inside the apartment. The first 20 floors will be offices, floors 21 to 35 will be a luxury hotel, floor 36 through 70 will be residential apartments, and the top 10 floors will be luxury villas. The Dynamic Tower in Dubai will be the first skyscraper to be entirely constructed in a factory from prefabricated parts, it will require only 600 people in the assembly facility and 80 technicians on the construction site. Construction is scheduled to be completed by 2010.

My god, it's so beautiful! A perfect synthesis of form and function. Are we finally achieving the dream of improving upon nature instead of detracting from it with our constructions? Marvelous.
sorry for the delay.. been too busy.. actually lazy..
I would think so..
I am more worried about the intense construction race that is underway all over the Middle East especially Dubai
