<p>I haven&#8217;t been reading enough blogs lately, because I had missed out on the <a href="http://www.dynamicarchitecture.net/home.html">Dynamic Tower</a> of Dubai until the latest issue of National Geographic.</p>
<p>The skyscraper also known as Da Vinci Tower has 80 floors, each of which rotates individually – extending the whole architectural experience into the &#8220;fourth dimension of time&#8221;. It is also wind and solar powered and claimed to be self-sustaining with enough surplus to power up five other similar buildings.</p>
<p>Like much of the spectacular architecture of these days, it is being built in Dubai and should be completed in 2010. The <a href="http://www.dynamicarchitecture.net/THE-VISION/INDEX.html">presentation</a> is very pretentious, leaves behind even <a href="http://www.khanshatyr.com/">Khan Shatyr</a> in Astana of Kazakhstan.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m curious to see how it works out. Not everyone is <a href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/06/dubious-dubai-tower-starts.php">convinced</a> of its feasibility.</p>
