This architecture is revolutionary even in the way it's built. It is in fact the first building produced in a factory, apart from the concrete core. It's produced of complete luxury units in a factory, including all plumbing, electrical, air conditioning and installed on the concrete core right on location. This ready made implementation offers high quality finishing, high quality control and the use of a very few workers on site, with a real cost, life risks and time savings. Besides, this architecture, made of single separated floors offer higher seismic resistance than any other normal building. Dynamic Architecture is designed for better living even before it's finished.
Thanks to the fact that it's built in a factory and just assembled on site, the number of workers on site is reduced from 2000 to 90.
The ready made technology allows a revolutionary implementation which is the quickest way to build a tower: building time is reduced from 30 to 18 months.
The revolutionary ready made technology, plus the fact that it moves to the wind, allows the building to be 1.3 times more resistant to earthquakes.

THE ROTATING TOWER, THE FIRST INDUSTRIAL SKYSCRAPER
Man has always built his homes in the same way: brick after brick, right where he would then live.
The art of construction has actually changed very little over centuries. Until today, there have only been three major steps forward:
3,800 b.C. – Ancient Egyptians built the pyramids and buildings until now are based on gravity: stones/bricks/blocks are positioned one on top of the other.
1436 - Brunelleschi designed the dome of the Cathedral of Florence. The biggest dome ever built, challenging horizontal forces.
1889 - The first iron structure, the Eiffel Tower , was built in Paris . Many skyscrapers are built of bolted steel traces, based on the same technology.
1905 - Reinforced concrete was created by combining cement with iron bars; most structures until now are made of reinforced concrete.
Today, the Rotating Tower of Dubai marks the first real innovation in construction in a century.
In fact, the Rotating Tower will be the first industrial skyscraper ever constructed: 90 percent of the building will be prefabricated and assembled on a central core, the only part that will be built with traditional reinforced concrete poured on the site.
This new way of building, based on rationalizing the construction process, provides significant savings in terms of both time and money. With fewer people on the job site and part of the production totally industrialized, the tower is expected to cost about 23% less than a traditional building.
In fact, the Dubai job site will employ only 90 persons, compared to the 2,000 normally found on similar sites. The production plant for the assembly of the “units” will require only 700 workers who will work in simpler, safer and better environmental conditions.
The Rotating Tower will be constructed in two main phases. The central core will take just six months to be constructed, using slip forms that allow the erection of a floor every two days.
This structural solution of a massive single concrete core will increase the building's seismic resistance compared to a traditional skyscraper.
Two months after the start of works, the first residential units will reach the job site, complete with all their plumbing, electric and air-conditioning systems.
The units will be “hooked” to the core with a sequence of one floor a week, allowing a 60 stories building to be built in a record time, saving about 30% over a construction time of a similar skyscraper.
Once attached to the load-bearing structure, an operation that would require...few days.
These pre-assembled units that make a complete finished floor will be made of a combination of steel, aluminum and fiber carbon.
The industrial assembly process will mean high quality of finishing that can never be achieved on a construction site, faster construction time and cost savings.
We do believe that in future days, most buildings around the world will be produced within an industrial facility, offering all the above benefits.
