意建築師計劃建造360度旋轉摩天大樓

Forget the Shard, the latest plans for a skyscraper in London would not only give fantastic views of the city but these views could change every hour and a half because the building rotates.

An Italian architect has revealed the ambitious plans to create Dynamic Towers in cities around the world with separate floors that spin 360 degrees around a concrete centre every 90 minutes.

The first two are planned to be built in Dubai and Moscow with other cities including London, Milan, Paris, Rome, New York and Miami on the cards too.

The brainchild behind the plans is Dr David Fisher from Florence who owns the Rotating Tower Technology Company.

He said he was inspired to create the perpetual motion skyscrapers after soaking in the view from a friend's apartment in Manhattan.

On his website he claims it is a new era for architecture: 'For the first time ever, buildings will be able to become part of life.

'Buildings will have four dimensions, adding the dimension of 'time''.

Each of the Dynamic Towers are also designed to be self-sustaining and can generate electricity from wind and solar power.

Up to 79 wind turbines will be fitted to each floor to generate enough energy to fuel the building's electricity.

Fisher also claims that the buildings will be able to identify changes in climate and temperature and regulate energy through the building's surface.

The 'intelligent' building can manage the internal temperature of rooms automatically - making it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, for example.

By controlling this automatically Fisher claims it can ensure 'indoor comfort while reducing energy consumption.'

'Over the next two decades our energy infrastructure will undergo changes similar to those which rippled through the media and telecommunication industries over the past twenty years.

'Just like the cell phone revolution of the early 1990s, when the first generation wireless telecommunications quickly saturated the analog network, so too will digitalization pervade the purchase, generation, transportation and usage of all sorts of energy.'

Dr. Fisher's Rotating Tower project is innovative in design and architecture, but also recognizes environmental care and industrial production process as key points in the city of the future.

The plans were released in 2008 and Fisher planned to have the first building in Dubai completed by 2010.

However, delays in planning permission as well as structural design tweaks and problems with how the plumbing would work, for example, is said to have pushed this date back.

Although, Dr Fisher believes each floor will only take six days to assemble around the core once permission is granted and the concrete structures are in place.

Each of the towers have been designed with swimming pools, gardens and even lifts for cars meaning people can park outside their flats.

The 80-storey Dubai tower is expected to cost around £355million while the 70-storey Moscow tower will be developed by the Mirax Group with final costs unknown.

Details of the other towers have not been released and specific details about planning permission for all of the towers as well as expected start and completion dates have not yet been announced.

Fisher previously said that he did not want to unveil too much information because he wanted it to be kept a 'surprise.'據英國《每日郵報》8月5日報道，意大利佛羅倫薩建築師戴維•菲捨爾計劃在世界各大城市打造360度旋轉的摩天大樓，每層樓每90分鐘圍繞一個混凝土中心旋轉360度，讓人盡情領略城市美景。

菲捨爾打算先在迪拜打造這樣的摩天大樓，接着是莫斯科，倫敦、米蘭、巴黎、羅馬、紐約和邁阿密也在榜單之列。菲捨爾說，他在朋友位於曼哈頓的公寓看過美景後深受啓發，打算打造出永恆運動的摩天大樓。目前，他經營着旋轉大樓技術公司。

菲捨爾在自己的網站上宣稱這是建築的新時代，“建築首次成爲生活的一部分。旋轉大樓有4個維度，加入了‘時間’維度”。據瞭解，每棟旋轉大樓都能自給自足，通過風能和太陽能發電，每層樓有多達79颱風力發電機，足給大樓供電。

此外，旋轉大樓還能識別氣候和溫度變化，通過建築表面調節能源自動調節室內溫度，在夏天讓室溫降低，冬天則讓室溫升高，確保了室內的舒適度，還降低了能耗。每棟大樓都配有游泳池、花園，甚至還有汽車起重機，意味着人們可以把車停在自家公寓外面。

菲捨爾在2008年公佈了旋轉摩天大樓計劃，並打算於2010年在迪拜建成第一棟旋轉大樓。然而，生產許可證延期、結構設計調整以及水暖設備如何運轉等問題讓該計劃未能如期實現。菲捨爾說，一旦獲得了生產許可證，混凝土結構也到位了，那麼組裝每層樓僅需6天時間。

80層的迪拜旋轉大樓預計將花費大約3.55億英鎊（約人民幣33億元）；70層的莫斯科旋轉大樓將由米拉克斯集團承建，成本未知。其他大樓的細節還沒有公佈，關於所有大樓的規劃許可及起始日期也都處於保密狀態。菲捨爾此前曾表示，他不想公佈太多信息，因爲想讓它成爲一個“驚喜”。
