Rotating skyscraper


The Dynamic Tower, designed by Italian architect David Fisher, is being built in Dubai with another one planned for Moscow. The floors, powered by the wind, rotate independently from one another to drive electricity-generating turbines. A rotation takes about an hour. I wonder if an apartment-owner can lock the apartment's position when desired.

Another unique feature is that the floors are pre-fab units--apparently a first for skyscrapers.
