Many travellers will be wanting to take flights to Dubai or Moscow to see this - moving buildings!

This week, a new concept in buildings was announced in New York, by architect Dr David Fisher.  The world’s first moving buildings will be built in the cities of Moscow and Dubai.

These new state of the art attractions are to be called ‘Dynamic Towers’ and the first one will be in Dubai, and is set to complete in 2010.  This particular tower will be 420 metres tall with 80 floors and is in the advanced design stage at the moment.  The second tower will be in Moscow and Dr Fisher said that the third moving skyscraper is planned for New York.  The company behind the idea is called Dynamic Architecture.

Dr Fisher said:

“Additional Dynamic Towers will be built around the world, following an expression of interest from developers, governments and public officials to construct a Dynamic Tower in Canada, Germany, Italy, Korea and Switzerland.”

The floors of each skyscraper will each rotate independently, so the buildings will constantly change their shape and appearance.  In addition, they will be environmentally friendly as a wind turbine between each individual floor will make the towers the first ever buildings to be self-powered entirely.
