    The genius in Dr. David Fisher’s design of the Dynamic Architecture wind-powered rotating skyscraper is quite simply the most exciting green building that you will find around the planet in some time to come. The rotating marvel that this building is, it produces 10 times more energy than it uses up. That means that you could well call it an energy resource instead of something that is traditionally supposed to be energy consuming. Forget about zero-energy buildings, this one gives tons of energy back to us.

    Each floor of Dynamic Architecture’s wind-powered rotating skyscraper is a single apartment with the ability to rotate independently, giving residents the ability to choose a new view at the touch of a button - quite a party trick. Wind turbines between each floor will generate a vast surplus of electricity capable of powering the whole surrounding neighborhood. Even to visualize such an existing concept is damn difficult and that is a direct tribute to the creative genius of David Fisher. What most of us still struggle to imagine, this guy came up with it from scratch!

    Haha, that's what I was thinking KC. I'd be sick like constantly. Heights AND spinning? No thanks, even if it is really slow.

    You are both incorrect, there is only one Jesus and one God and that is obviously me my friends, and I would so ride my dinosaur across the water to that building..

    It is not actually marooned - it is just an image without the boring details of getting there or its true location (actually it is on Shaikh Zayed Road).
    There is a far easier way to get there (on foot).
    But, probably has a helipad (just for you).

    I don't think there is any good pot dealers out there, so maybe it is not the place for you anyway:p
