Preview of World's First Rotating Skyscraper PlusPreview of World's First Rotating SkyscraperPreview of World's First Rotating SkyscraperThe Associated PressArchitect Dr. David Fisher unveiled the Dynamic Tower, the world's first building in motion. The rotate skyscrapers, which are planned worldwide, have floors which rotate independently to create a building that constantly changes shape. (June 24)Is it the skyscraper of the future? Or just a "pie in the sky" idea? Italian architect David Fisher unveiled in New York the design for what he's calling the world's first "building in motion." It's an 80-story residential tower with revolving floors, ostensibly set for construction in Dubai this fall. ((David Fisher, Architect)) "It's the first building that is dynamic, changing its' shape. You can adjust the shape any given moment." Fisher says he is also slated to build one of the "dynamic" buildings in Moscow, and, he hopes, New York City. He says the buildings also double as power generators: wind turbines on every floor will provide power. "Wind has a very negative affect on skyscrapers we all know. So I say 'why do we want to fight the wind?' Why don't we use the wind, to our own benefit? The Dubai condos are going for three-thousand dollars a square foot. Lifts will allow penthouse residents to park their cars right in their apartments. Fisher says the building parts will be prefabricated in a factory in Italy then assembled at the final location. The architect says he'd like to have the Dubai building ready to live in by 2010. Ted Shaffrey, The Associated Press, New York Tags: dynamic tower preview world's first rotating skyscraper |

Two Men Scale NYC Skyscraper SelectPlusTwo Men Scale NYC SkyscraperTwo Men Scale NYC SkyscraperThe Associated PressA Manhattan skyscraper that is home to The New York Times became the site of twin daredevil stunts, with two men scaling the high rise tower within a matter of hours. (June 6)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] [Notes:shot of Robert climbing]Not one... [Notes:slide over, bring in split screen with Clarke] But TWO men climbed up the outside of a skyscraper in Manhattan on Thursday. [Notes:Robert being taken into custody]The first was Alain Robert. [Notes:shots of Robert climbing] He scaled the 52-story building, pumping his fists into the air when he got to the top. The serial climber's website says he's already scaled more than 70 skyscrapers around the world. [Notes:police at top of building]By the time he got to the top of this one, New York police were waiting for him. [Notes:shot of Clarke climbing] Then, just hours later, another man made the climb. [Notes:gawkers]By the time the copycat climber made his move, TV cameras and onlookers were on hand to capture Renaldo Clarke scaling the building. [Notes:clarke being arrested at top] And once again, when he got to the top -- New York's finest were waiting.SOT: Lt. Mike McGinnis, NYPD: "I think it's stupid to endanger the public the way he did because some of the ceramic tiles were breaking loose, it took awhile to get the street cordoned off, so that puts the public in danger." [Notes:cutaway]Clarke's friends say he is an experienced climber, but they were still worried.SOT: Monica Escobar, Friend of climber: "we were trying to encourage him not to." [Notes:various of climbers] The new building is covered with slats that made the stunt as easy as climbing a ladder. The New York Times - which owns the structure - says the newspaper is planning to take steps to make sure similar stunts don't happen in the future Both climbers face charges of reckless endangerment, disorderly conduct and criminal trespass. ___ ___, The Associated Press Tags: skyscraper climber men scale nyc |

BBC News - Dubai plans 'moving' skyscraper The world's first moving building, an 80-storey tower with revolving floors giving a shifting shape, will be built in Dubai, its architect says. The Dynamic Tower design is made up of 80 pre-fabricated apartments which will spin independently of one another. "It's the first building that rotates, moves, and changes shape," said architect David Fisher, who is Italian, at a news conference in New York. "This building never looks the same, not once in a lifetime," he added. The 420-metre (1,378-foot) building's apartments would spin a full 360 degrees, at voice command, around a central column by means of 79 giant power-generating wind turbines located between each floor. The slender building would be energy self-sufficient as the turbines would produce enough electricity to power the entire building and even feed extra power back into the grid, said the Italian architect at the unveiling of the project in New York. The apartments, which will take between one and three hours to make a complete rotation, will cost from $3.7m to $36m. There are also plans to build a similar, 70-storey skyscraper in Moscow. "I call these buildings designed by time, shaped by life," said the Florence-based architect, who has never built a sky-scraper before. "These buildings will open our vision all around, to a new life." The skyscraper will cost an estimated $700m to build and should be up and running in Dubai in 2010.

The first skyscraper that will be first building in motion An Italian architect said he is poised to start construction on a new skyscraper in Dubai that will be "the world's first building in motion," an 80-story tower with revolving floors that give it an ever-shifting shape. The spinning floors, hung like rings around an immobile cement core, would offer residents a constantly changing view of the Persian Gulf and the city's futuristic skyline. A few penthouse villas would spin on command using a voice-activated computer. The motion of the rest of the building would be choreographed in patterns that could be altered over time. Speaking at a news conference in New York on Tuesday, the building's designer, David Fisher, declared that his tower will revolutionize the way skyscrapers are made -- a claim that might strike some as excessively bold. Fisher acknowledges that he is not well known, has never built a skyscraper before and hasn't practiced architecture regularly in decades. But he insisted his lack of experience wouldn't stop him from completing the project, which has attracted top design talent, including Leslie E. Robertson, the structural engineer for the World Trade Center and the Shanghai World Financial Center. "I did not design skyscrapers, but I feel ready to do so," Fisher said. Twisting floors are just one of several futuristic features in the building, the first of several Fisher hopes to build with a similar design. Giant wind turbines installed between every floor, he said, will generate enough electricity to power the entire building, and lifts will allow penthouse residents to park their cars right at their apartments. A second version of the tower, to be built in Moscow, would have a retractable helicopter pad. Both structures, at over 1,300 feet, would be taller than the Empire State Building. Even the method of construction would be unorthodox. Fisher said each floor will be prefabricated in an Italian factory, then shipped to the site to be attached to the core. Assembling a building in this fashion, he said, will require only 80 technicians and take only 20 months, saving tens of millions of dollars, for a total cost of $700 million to build. On its face, the project seems to pose a number of complicated engineering puzzles. How would the plumbing hookups work in an apartment that is constantly moving? Fisher said the pipes will connect to the core via attachments similar to the ones used by military aircraft for in-flight refueling. Wouldn't people get dizzy? No, says Fisher. The rotations will be slow enough that no one will notice. With so many moving parts, wouldn't the building be a maintenance nightmare? Fisher said the building's modular construction will allow easy access to parts that need to be replaced. Robertson, who attended Tuesday's news conference, said that the skyscraper might be unusual, but is "absolutely" buildable. "You can build anything," he said, smiling. Fisher declined to say exactly where in Dubai the tower will be built or when site work might begin. He insisted, however, that factory production is set to start within weeks and that the tower, which will contain office space, a luxury hotel and apartments, will be complete by 2010. Sales of individual apartments will begin in September, with asking prices of around $3,000 per square foot. The smallest, at 1,330 square feet, would cost about $4 million and the largest, a 12,900-square-foot villa, $38.7 million. Skeptics might question Fisher's credentials to pull off the job. In a biography he had been distributing for months, he said he graduated from the University of Florence in 1976, came to New York in the mid-1980s and later developed hotels and ran a company that specialized in stone and prefabricated construction materials. The biography also said he received an honorary doctorate from "The Prodeo Institute at Columbia University in New York." No such institution exists, however, and Columbia said it had never awarded Fisher an honorary degree. Asked to explain the discrepancy, Fisher said, through his New York publicists, that he had been awarded the degree by the Catholic University of Rome during a ceremony in 1994 held at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, which is near Columbia's campus. Asked again to clarify the name of the school that conferred the degree, Fisher's publicists said in an e-mail that the information has been removed from his bio "because he wants to be entirely accurate and cannot be with this information."

Just folded and "put together". Well, it was a hard work, mainly because Windows Movie Maker is rubbish... Das ist ein Hochhaus, das ich aus Papier gebaut hab. Ich habe ungefähr 120 Blätter benutzt, die NICHT geklebt oder getackert sind. Einfach nur gefaltet und zusammengefügt.

Skyscraper Sculpture Unveiled in Manhattan StrangeSkyscraper Sculpture Unveiled in ManhattanSkyscraper Sculpture Unveiled in ManhattanThe Associated PressA 65-foot sculpture that's pays tribute to New York's tall buildings has been unveiled in Rockefeller Center. It's made of replicas of stainless steel Erector set pieces. (June 10)MANHATTAN'S LATEST SKYSCRAPER HAS NEW YORKERS REACHING FOR THEIR CAMERAS.IT'S 65 FEET HIGH -- 7 TONS IN WEIGHT -- AND MADE OF THE SAME SORT OF STAINLESS STEEL PIECES YOU'D FIND IN AN ERECTOR SET. IT WAS CREATED BY CHRIS BURDEN -- AN ARTIST. [Notes:SOT --CHRIS BURDEN/ARTIST] "It's an homage to all the tall buildings in New York City. And it's kind of an interesting size because it's made out of toy parts and it's a model of a skyscraper and inspired by them, but it's actually as tall as a real building." [Notes:VO--SHOTS OF SCULPTURE]THE SCULPTURE WAS UNVEILED TUESDAY AT ROCKEFELLER CENTER.IT'S CALLED "WHAT MY DAD GAVE ME." [Notes:SOT -- CHRIS BURDEN/ARTIST] "Well my dad was an engineer and he actually worked for the Rockefeller foundation in the fifties, so I used to come to this building as a child. So that's part of the title too, I think, so it's kind of a nice, nice relationship." [Notes:VO -- SHOTS OF SCULPTURE]PEOPLE WHO STOPPED BY TO TAKE A LOOK SEEMED IMPRESSED. [Notes:SOT -- NIGEL BRIAND/FAN OF SKYSCRAPER SCULPTURE] "I really love the way when you stand back from it, you can look at many different sort of angles and see like different shapes going through the piece and if you stand back far enough, it almost looks like it's shimmering in certain places. It's kind of blurry. It's quite an interesting piece." [Notes:VO --SHOTS OF SKYSCRAPER SCULPTURE]FOR THE PAST DECADE, BURDEN HAS BEEN WORKING WITH REPLICA ERECTOR SET PIECES -- AND THIS IS BILLED AS HIS MOST COMPLEX WORK TO DATE.IT WILL BE ON VIEW AT ROCKEFELLER CENTER UNTIL JULY 19TH.
