Moving skyscraper
Template:Short description A moving skyscraper is a tall building in which individual floors can rotate on its axis. The world's first such building, the Suite Vollard,[1] is located in Curitiba, Brazil.[2] Another similar project is the Dynamic Tower in Dubai.

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". The tower which will be built in Dubai is designed by Italian architect David Fisher. It will have a total number of 80 floors. All the floors are prefabricated and can spin 360 degrees around a central column by means of power generated by the wind turbine located between each floor. The apartments are expected to cost about $3.7 million to $36 million. The construction was expected to be completed by 2014. The projected cost of the project was 700 million dollars.[3]
Moscow
There are plans to build a 70-story skyscraper in Moscow as well.[4]
