意大利设计师设计出360度旋转摩天大楼

 

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（创作品） 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（永久的） motion skyscrapers¹ 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 infrastructure² will undergo changes similar to those which rippled³ through the media and telecommunication⁴ industries over the past twenty years.

 

'Just like the cell phone revolution of the early 1990s, when the first generation wireless⁵ telecommunications quickly saturated⁶ the analog⁷ network, so too will digitalization pervade⁸ the purchase, generation, transportation and usage of all sorts of energy.'

 

Dr. Fisher's Rotating Tower project is innovative⁹ 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 structural¹⁰ design tweaks and problems with how the plumbing¹¹ 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 previously¹² said that he did not want to unveil too much information because he wanted it to be kept a 'surprise.'
