Dubai and Moscow plan world's first rotating skyscraper - VIDEO

The skylines of Dubai and Moscow will be constantly changing with plans for the world’s first rotating skyscrapers unveiled yesterday.

Each floor of architect David Fisher’s swirling skyscrapers will rotate up to once an hour to form an every-changing skyline.

The rotating floors will be made of prefabricated units that spin around a concrete core and are estimated to take only six days to assemble around the core.

Production of the prefabricated units will begin in the next few weeks in Bari, Italy and the £335m Dubai building is expected to be finished in 2010.

Most of the floors will be controlled from the architect’s laptop so they can be synchronised to make various forms.

Owners of each floor will also be able to use voice activation systems to control the movement.

Mr Fisher hopes the second tower in Moscow will be followed by towers in London or New York, the Times reports.

The unique buildings will also be powered by horizontal wind turbines spinning between each floor to generate electricity, while photovoltaic cells will be installed on the roof each floor.
