¦pasati ca sa ¦vansati!
Dr. David Fisher, ¦rch.

¦n Italian architect said he is poised to start construction on a new skyscraper

in Dubai that will be "the world's first building in motion," an 80-
80-story tower
with revolving floors that give it an ever-
ever-shifting shape.
The spinning floors, hung like rings around an immobile cement core, would
offer residents a constantly changing view of the Persian Gulf and the city's
futuristic skyline.

¦ few penthouse villas would spin on command using a voicevoice--activated

computer. The motion of the rest of the building would be choreographed in
patterns that could be altered over time.
Speaking at a news conference in New York on Tuesday, the building's
designer, David Fisher,
Fisher, declared that his tower will revolutionize the way
skyscrapers are made -- a claim that might strike some as excessively bold.

 Fisher acknowledges that he is not well known, has never built a skyscraper before and hasn't
practiced architecture regularly in decades. But he insisted his lack of experience wouldn't stop
him from completing the project, which has attracted top design talent, including Leslie E.
Robertson, the structural engineer for the World Trade Center and the Shanghai World Financial
Center. "I did not design skyscrapers, but I feel ready to do so," Fisher said.

Twisting floors are just one of several futuristic features in the building, the first of several
Fisher hopes to build with a similar design. Giant wind turbines installed between every floor, he
said, will generate enough electricity to power the entire building, and lifts will allow penthouse
residents to park their cars right at their apartments. ¦ second version of the tower, to be built in
Moscow, would have a retractable helicopter pad. Both structures, at over 1,300 feet, would be
taller than the Empire State Building. Even the method of construction would be unorthodox.

Fisher said each floor will be prefabricated in an Italian factory, then shipped to the site to be attached to the core. ¦ssembling a
building in this fashion, he said, will require only 80 technicians and take only 20 months, saving tens of millions of dollars, for a
total cost of $700 million to build. On its face, the project seems to pose a number of complicated engineering puzzles. How
would the plumbing hookups work in an apartment that is constantly moving? Fisher said the pipes will connect to the core via
attachments similar to the ones used by military aircraft for in-flight refueling. Wouldn't people get dizzy? No, says Fisher. The
rotations will be slow enough that no one will notice. With so many moving parts, wouldn't the building be a maintenance
nightmare? Fisher said the building's modular construction will allow easy access to parts that need to be replaced. Robertson,
who attended Tuesday's news conference, said that the skyscraper might be unusual, but is "absolutely" buildable.

"You can build anything," he said, smiling.

Fisher declined to say exactly where in Dubai the tower will be built or when site work might begin. He insisted, however, that
factory production is set to start within weeks and that the tower, which will contain office space, a luxury hotel and apartments,
will be complete by 2010.

Sales of individual apartments will begin in September, with asking prices of around $3,000 per square foot. The smallest, at
1,330 square feet, would cost about $4 million and the largest, a 12,900-square-foot villa, $38.7 million. Skeptics might question
Fisher's credentials to pull off the job. In a biography he had been distributing for months, he said he graduated from the
University of Florence in 1976, came to New York in the mid-1980s and later developed hotels and ran a company that
specialized in stone and prefabricated construction materials.

The biography also said he received an honorary doctorate from "The Prodeo Institute at Columbia University in New York." No
such institution exists, however, and Columbia said it had never awarded Fisher an honorary degree. ¦sked to explain the
discrepancy, Fisher said, through his New York publicists, that he had been awarded the degree by the Catholic University of
Rome during a ceremony in 1994 held at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, which is near Columbia's campus. ¦sked
again to clarify the name of the school that conferred the degree, Fisher's publicists said in an e-mail that the information has
been removed from his bio "because he wants to be entirely accurate and cannot be with this information."

ù Iata un turn care se invarte singur ca o femeie,
dupa dorinta locatarului, dupa soare, dupa vant.
ù Proiectul arhitectului David Fisher,
Turnurile Rotative Dubai si Moscova
sunt date in folosinta din anul 2010.
ù Denumit "Dynamic Architecture" acest tip de
constructie este in rotatie continua.
Fiecare nivel din cele 80 este independent in
rotatia sa pe axul central in beton-armat
ù Rezervatia apartamente a inceput la 1 À

2008, suprafatele variaza intre 37 si 297 mp.
¦menajare etaj in Vila de o familie ¦menajare unui etaj in apartamente
Turbine de vant ajuta la rotatie economica

¦samblare de modul prefabricat

Panouri foto-voltaic sunt plasate sub podea

ù Fiecare etaj se invarte independent in jurul
axei stabile de beton-armat, care contine
doua scari si cinci elevatoare, unul special
pentru automobil.
ù Cateva imagini in rotatie.
ù Fiecare nivel se compune din piese de
marimea camerei din materiale usoare,
foarte rezistente (fibra de carbon) atasate
si fixate una de alta, in jurul unui stalp
central de beton-armat pe care pivoteaza
fiecare etaj. Comanda miscarii se face
prin voce din fiecare apartament, rotatia
intreaga dureaza aproape 3 ore.
ù Fiecare locatar are masina parcata la acelas
nivel cu apartamentul sau, deplasare la sol
se face rapid cu un elevator mare.
ù Sala principala de baie are vedere direct spre
ocean printr-o sticla-zid pe toata lungimea,
bazinul are jeturi cu apa minerala.
ù Explicatia tri-dimensionala, realizarea constructiei.
ù David Fisher doreste sa ridice alte Turnuri-
Dinamice. Urmatoarele proiecte pot fi in New
York, sau in Canada, Germany, Italy, Korea
sau Switzerland. Romania nu e inscrisa inca.
ù Costul informativ pentru un turn de 80 etaje
cu 120-200 de apartamente este de aproape
$700 millions.
ù Pentru arhitectul
David Fisher,
turnul-dinamic
este o filozofie
de rezolvare in
spatiu si timp.
Solutia usureaza
viata in timpul
modern al zilelor
de astazi.
