The Architect of 'Dynamic Architecture' - Dubai

Dr David Fisher - Profile



Dr David Fisher, Architect and Town Planner, is an Italian citizen, who has been passionately working on redefining the technical and technological extremes of buildings, especially in urban centres like New York, Moscow, Hong Kong, Paris and Dubai, for over three decades now. Fisher started as an artist in Florence , the home of Italian Renaissance. After graduating with Honors from the University of Florence in 1976, Fisher started teaching Architecture in the same university and at the School of Structural Engineering .
On account of his academic achievements and research activities, Fisher was awarded an Honorees Cause Ph.D by the Prodeo Institute at the Columbia University in New York . Along with his academic pursuits, Fisher was also involved in the restoration of ancient landmarks and design of public buildings. Through the New York office of his Fiteco Ltd, which he launched in the mid eighties, Fisher started getting associated with the prefabrication and development of construction technologies as well as in the construction and development of hotel projects. His professional activity was always focused on two things: Designing buildings that can adjust themselves to the needs of its inhabitants, thus being “dynamic”, and the industrial production of construction units.Some of the technologies he developed include the ‘Smart Bathroom by Leonardo da Vinci' system, a completely pre-assembled bathroom system for luxury hotels and homes. Considered the first “mechanical” approach to civil construction, it is the only existing factory-produced and integrated bathroom system. Fisher's LDV Group incorporated this system into buildings in Italy for the first time, followed by Dubai , London , Moscow , Paris and Hong Kong .Fifty-eight-year old, Fisher believes that “whatever is correct is nice; whatever is nice is not always correct”. He has also written various articles on his professional activities and on architecture. According to Fisher, time is the most powerful dimension of life. “Time”, says Fisher “is the dimension of relativity”. His new skyscraper, the tower in motion, is shaped by “life designed by time”.
