Meaning / Concept Dynamic (of a process or system) characterized by constant change, activity, progress, or movement. Dynamic Architecture / Dynamic Buildings , the start of a new conception in Architecture , a concept of buildings in motion which can be found in many shapes such as: 1. Static-Dynamic (Form, Textures, Colors). 2. Partially-Dynamic (specific spaces, elevations, Interior partitions, Furniture). 3. Fully-Dynamic (the whole Building can rotate, revolve, swivel or pivot).
Meaning / Concept These buildings provides the possibility to orient the own space: - according to the moments of the day (sun & light). - in relation to the seasons. - in relation to the surrounding environment (views). - For the purposes of protection and defense –or simply to own pleasure.
First Rotating Residential Tower Suite Vollard , 2001 The Suite Vollard is a rotating residential building in Curitiba, Parana, Brazil. This Apartment Building was Designed by a team of Architects, headed by Bruno de Franco & David Fisher. This building is the only one of its kind in the world, as each of the 11 apartments can rotate 360º.
Each apartment can spin individually in any direction. One rotation takes a full hour. The apartment rings rotate around a static core used for building services, utilities, and all areas which require plumbing. Each apartment was sold for approximately 300,000 $.
SAIRIFI HA HOUSE Sharifi-ha House by Iranian architectural firm Nextoffice is a luxurious home by anyone's standard. The seven-floor residence boasts an elevator, swimming pool, and a sizable gym.
SAIRIFI HA HOUSE More interestingly, it also features three rooms which resemble large wooden boxes and sit upon operable rotating platforms . Sharifi -ha House's three operable rooms remain in a flat, or "closed" position during cold weather . However, if the sun comes out, each room can rotate 90 degrees outwards with the touch of a button to reveal a terraced area. While the house is in its "open" state, there's also more ventilation and light available to those inside.

Da Vincci Tower Dynamic Architecture buildings keep modifying their shape. As each floor rotates separately, the form of the building changes constantly; you may not see the same building twice.
THE ROTATING TOWER Dynamic architecture marks a new era in architecture. This new approach, based on motion dynamics, is in fact a challenge to traditional architecture that until now was based on rigid buildings. In particular, the project is based on three fundamental concepts: - It is DYNAMIC because each floor can rotate. Independently from the others allowing the building to change its’ shape continuously, it is GREEN because it produces. Its own energy from the wind and from the sun; it is INDUSTRIALLY PRODUCED being made of prefabricated modules, then assembled on site.
The Turning Torso Turning Torso is a neo-futurist residential skyscraper in Sweden and the tallest building in Scandinavia . Located in Malmö on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait , It is regarded as the first twisted skyscraper in the world. The project was designed by Spanish architect, structural engineer, sculptor and painter Santiago Calatrava The tower reaches a height of 190 metres (623 ft ) with 54 storeys and 147 apartments .
DETAILS Turning Torso is based on a sculpture by Calatrava , called Twisting Torso , which is a white marble piece based on the form of a twisting human being.
Revolving Restaurants The Sunsphere , knoxville The first revolving restaurant of US, opened in 1982. Fututistic architecture The Sunsphere is a 266-foot-tall High-Tech observation tower. T he theme of the 1982 Knoxville World’s Fair was “Energy Turns the World ” Featuring a gold-colored glass sphere supported by a hexagonal steel truss tower, the iconic structure currently houses a public observation deck, lounge, and private event spaces
Cairo tower, Egypt The Cairo Tower is a free-standing concrete tower in Cairo, Egypt. At 187 m, it is the tallest structure in Egypt and North Africa.

Making building turntable The basic form of revolving portion of the building was simple : A circular structure containing a platform rotated around a central core, which held elevators, kitchens, and so on, designed to ensure that every table cycled through a view of the surrounding landscape at a carefully calibrated speed
Dynamic Revolution
Dr. David Fisher Dr . David Fishers is an Italian Architect based in Florence owning a design firm called “Infinity Design”. Honors at Faculty of Architecture in Florence University. Taught as faculty in the same and in structural engineering department. Awarded PhD Honoris causa by the Prodeo Institute at Columbia University (NY). Not a traditional architect as he worked mainly in the field of construction redefining the technical and technological extremes of building. Involved in restoration of ancient buildings. Pioneer in the field of prefabrication and dynamic buildings.
Dynamic Revolution The Fourth Dimension ! The greatest innovation, which characterizes David Fisher’s tower of endless shapes is I ntroduction of the fourth dimension Time , as an essential part of the building philosophy .
The Rotating Tower brings three main futuristic aspects, three revolutions : 1 . The shape of the building changes continuously : Buildings as Part of the Environment, adjusting to the sun and the wind Each floor, in fact, can rotate separately, changing every second the shape of the building. The Rotating Skyscraper takes on shapes imposed by time and life, never appearing the same in any two given moments. It is the first building to have four dimensions: Designed by TIME, shaped by LIFE .
2. The method of construction It is in fact the first building produced in a factory, giving construction a new industrial approach. The entire building, aside from the concrete core, is made of prefabricated units which arrive to the construction site completely finished, including flooring, water piping, air conditioning and all finishes. These units, made of steel, aluminium , carbon fiber and other high quality modern materials, are installed “mechanically” on site. The building, made of single separate floors, is structurally sound and flexible at the same time, being of very high seismic resistance.
3. The combining technology and luxury with environment : The skyscraper's wind turbines, positioned horizontally between each floor, and solar ink on its many roofs will produce energy making the tower the first self- powered building. Thus the Rotating Tower, a unique architectural solution, becomes also a "power station" producing green energy for the city.
DYNAMIC INTERIOR
Eco-Friendly Dynamic Towers The Dynamic Tower is an innovative green building. With wind turbines fitted horizontally between each rotating floor, the 80- story building will have up to 79 wind turbine systems, making it a truly green power plant . While traditional vertical wind turbines have environmental and social effects, including the need for roads to build and maintain them, in addition to the noise and the obstruction of views, the Dynamic Tower's wind turbines are practically invisible and extremely quiet due to their special shape and the carbon fiber material of which they are composed.
Sustainable Dynamic Towers Dynamic buildings are a result of a decade-long experience in the research of innovative building components, capable of interacting with climate conditions and regulating energy flows through the building surface . The “intelligent” building is thus one whose external components become elements of thermal self-regulation, ensuring indoor comfort while reducing energy consumption .
Conclusion Dynamic architecture is futurusitic architecture that can make impact on future architecture On side of sustainable architecture, the building be of self energy dependent by producing energy, Greeen architecture is positive aspect of dynamic architecture, it should be concerned toward nature saving rather than destroying it. Mass movement of dynamic architecture if preserved leads to impact on daily life of people
