The " Rotating Tower" designed by the Florentine architect David Fisher
NEW YORK - It is the architectural and environmental event of the century: the "Rotating Tower that will rise in Dubai, capital of the futuristic world of architecture, but that was entirely designed in Italy. To be precise, in Florence, 58, by Florentine architect David Fisher, who held the press conference at the Plaza Hotel in New York on 24 June.
FIRST ARCHITECTURE DYNAMICS IN THE WORLD - The anticipation of the vigil is understandable since the revolutionary tower Fisher was announced as "the first fully rotating architecture in the world." aun skyscraper of 313 meters spread over 68 floors high, with a budget of about 330 milioni di dollari, che cambierà continuamente forma e produrrà elettricità in misura decisamente superiore al proprio fabbisogno grazie allo sfruttamento dell'energia eolica e solare. Gli abitanti della torre potranno scegliere a piacimento il panorama e la luce del giorno che desiderano, grazie ad un meccanismo che consente ad ogni piano di ruotare in modo autonomo. «Gli spostamenti avranno una velocità molto lenta -, spiega Fisher - così da non risultare fastidiosi per gli inquilini, che non percepiranno il movimento». Oltre a porre fine all'era dell'architettura statica ed immutabile, la rivoluzione di Fisher ne inaugura una nuova, all'insegna della dinamicità.
SOSTENIBILITA' AMBIENTALE - Thanks to the exploitation of the sun and wind, the skyscraper will be self-sufficient in energy. The turbines mounted horizontally between one floor and another, and solar panels that will be located on the roofs of the apartments will produce electricity at a significantly exceeds requirements, allowing the building to sell out. In one year, the tower would provide about 190 million kilowatts of energy, worth over € 7 million.
unbridled luxury - Inside the tower will house a revolving six-star hotel, offices and apartments of various sizes and in recent plans, five "houses" of 1,500 square meters each. Each villa will have car park to your floor served by a special elevator. On the roof, the "Penthouse" has even a swimming pool and garden. It's more the "Rotating Tower" will have a heliport "hidden" to the 64th floor: a platform "magic" that will materialize to allow the landing of the helicopter, dissolving into thin air soon after.
SKYSCRAPER INDUSTRIAL - The Rotating Tower is the first tower built with industrial systems. 90% of the building will be built in modules produced at the factory and then assembled on site, which will require the presence of only 90 technicians and workers against more than 2,000 of a comparable conventional building. The resulting, dramatic reduction in the risk of accidents and injuries - in an era marked by continuous in Italy died on the job - is perhaps one of the most important aspects of this tower.
