Each floor of David Fisher's dynamic tower would have rotated separately from the others.

Dynamic Tower
Italian architect David Fisher announced plans to build the US $700 million (AED 2.5 billion) 80-storey Dynamic Tower back in 2008. The difference between this tower and others was that each floor of the Dynamic Tower would rotate on its own to create an ever-changing building structure.

Not only that, but the tower would be largely pre-fabricated. As a result, only 90 workers would be needed on site with another 700 in a factory making all the different parts of the building. On any other tower, around 2000 workers would be needed, mostly on site, according to Fisher.

As recently as last May, Fisher continued to speak passionately about the concepts behind the building, but the Dynamic Tower is still to get off the ground.
