Each floor of the 80-storey skyscraper will spin around a central core
These are the designs for the world’s first revolving skyscraper, the latest eccentric proposal for the Dubai skyline.

The 80-storey Rotating Tower, brainchild of Florence-based architect David Fisher, would offer residents an ever-shifting view of the Persian Gulf as the floors spin round a central core.

A few superior penthouses would be fitted with voice activation technology, allowing inhabitants to control movement. Other floors would be choreographed to create a constantly-changing silhouette.

Wind turbines, installed between every floor, would power the building.

Despite admitting he has never built a skyscraper before, Fisher claims his designs will revolutionise construction of tall buildings.

He outlined his proposal at a press conference in New York yesterday.

We are eagerly awaiting when the project is going to be kicked off. Designer's idea of generating power for the building with wind is outstanding idea. Best of luck to the architect.
