The bureau of David Fisher (architect) in Firenze (Italia) called “dynamic architecture” designed a 313 m high skyscraper which is able to turn every platform to the inhabitants demand. Between each rotating floor there will be wind turbines which gain the energy to move the floors and even to cover the energy consumption of the whole building. According to dynamicarchitecture.net there will bei 48 turbines, each of them can generate 1.200.000 kwh, compared to the 4.800.000 required kwh there will be an overspill of 52.800.000 kwh.
Pictures of it are published on dynamicarchitecture.net.
The project shall be realized in dubai but at the moment there is no detailed information about when it will be built. According to Technology Review (heise) there are also discussions about building such a skyscraper in Berlin.

Hi,
It is fascinating idea. I am very impressed about sustainable energy supply.
I am just wondering, what is about the particle points in housing. How people fill inside? Is it load in it?
