Chapter one Introduction he Idea of %ynamic rchitecture was born with the desire to have buildings that ad'ust themselves to life, that are part of nature. In fact, our buildings, in which each floor rotates separately, change their shape continuously and never look the same. I call them “(uildings designed by time, shaped by life”. Imagine a skyscraper that can revolve according to tenants) needs and whims, allowing them to decide their own light e!position and view. In fact, these buildings are part of nature, inserted in the environment. %uring the first phases of design I understood therefore that they are by nature sustainable buildings. In fact, they become part of environment, they are made of natural materials green as they save energy, but not only as they produce wind energy and what can be more important today then saving our planet* rchitecture seems today as an e!pression of artistic imagination as most architects are competing in designing buildings that can become iconic due to their particular shapes. %esign is of course an important value in our society, it takes care of a part of our life style+but above all we should really care for our quality of life and quality of life has different values.
6
In fact, architects could at the end of the planning process take care also for the harmony of the shapes. (ut only after they satisfy the previous task, the first commands. oday, instead, most architects e!change their trade concept with sculptures as they make sculptures in the wrong scale. (uildings are different things as they are the shell around our space and should be therefore satisfying our needs, therefore they should make sense being designed and built, according to a specific list of preferences. I believe that the si! commands of rchitecture are ranking in importance as follows: . $conomical -easibility . -unctionality /. $nvironmentally sound 0. 1uality & $ngineering 2. 3aintenance 4. %esign he above are the principals of sustainability. If we follow this formula, if we design according to this order of importance then we have sustainable buildings. In fact rchitecture should be equal to "ustainability, let)s forget about the design, this is a massage of a -lorentine architect, city of art and 5enaissance, but also the city of "cience and quality of life. 6eonardo and merigo 7espucci, 3ichelangelo and 8alileo were born in -lorence+ 6et)s put aside the design for a while, let think of sustainability the art of living is more beautiful then any other+.living in a clean and green environment. 9hat are the si! commands* bove all a building has to be economically feasible. If our homes are not feasible they do not have the basis to be our shelter, we cannot afford them, we cannot maintain them. s a consequence, how can we have a good quality of life if they are not economically sound* (efore an architect starts planning a building he should look at its) economic and only when he finds the right “formula” or combination that guarantees the feasibility of the building he should be in a position to face the other aspects. he second command in my list is the functionality. gain, has to do with quality of life. (uildings should offer us the best possible benefits and, in order to have the most convenient space to live in, we should consider all practical aspects of life. he third command is the environmental aspects of our homes+ they should be made of natural materials, they should be pure of transmission of electrical waves, they should be inserted in nature, relate to the view and as much as possible save energy+ this is sustainability $ngineering and quality are the forth most important elements in planning buildings. $ngineering means the feasibility of the physical aspects of the building, of the hardware, the shell around our space, the structural aspects, good quality product, the method of construction and therefore also the human conditions of the construction worker, the cost and time of construction. "o again, our engineers should help us in making the buildings have sense and being sustainable he fifth most important thing in a building is its capability for maintenance. oday buildings are done as by the ancient $gyptians, when something goes wrong with the hydraulic system and has to be fi!ed, we have first to break the walls, to look for the lick, to ad'ust the pipes and then to plaster the wall and paint it. If it is in the bathroom we may also face the problem of not finding
7
the same tiles. It is about time that buildings will be able to have easy maintenance and service and offering, again, a proper quality of life to people. "ustainable buildings+ 6ast+ if they are of a nice shape it will make our apartments attractive and our cities nice, so why not* sustainable building, in fact, has to be economically feasible, functional, environmentally sound, engineering sound and allow easy maintenance. he combinations of the above issues all of them, but strictly according to the rank, create sustainable buildings. 9e should consider the sustainability impact of our home to the environment and the influence of nature on our space of life ;“homes”<. If environment is ignored our life is in danger. his is e!actly what is happening today on our planet, so buildings should be environmentally friendly, they should be built in an ecological method to prevent the cities suffering during the construction time. (uildings should consume as little energy as possible and should be made of clean natural materials, green as possible and can create energy as well. "ustainable buildings will become the symbol of a new philosophy that will change the look of our cities and the concept of living. 3y %ynamic (uildings are known as 5otating "kyscrapers. he rotation of these buildings indeed could be seen as a gimmick, but not so= It all started with the desire to see the view around us, of ad'usting our self to the season, to follow the sun, of having a house part of nature. I consider our %ynamic rchitecture towers to give also sense of time, of movement to life, rotating apartments may give a different sense to our life and create a different space around us. bove all, these buildings are sustainable, as will be hereby described. %ynamic rchitecture buildings keep modifying their shape. s each floor rotates separately, the form of the building changes constantly> you may not see the same building twice. %ynamic architecture marks a new era in architecture. his new approach, based on motion dynamics, is in fact a challenge to traditional architecture that until now was based on rigid buildings+'oking, I call the not?moving buildings tombstones+ buildings should start being part of the universe.. and therefore moving+dynamic+. @ow could one think that homes in digital area will be immobile as our grandmother house*..., %ynamic rchitecture buildings will become the symbol of a new philosophy that will change the look of our cities and the concept of living. -rom now on, buildings will have a fourth new dimension I3$. (uildings will not be confined to rigid shapes> construction will have a new approach and fle!ibility. #ities will change faster than we ever imagined. his fourth dimension has been the essence of my work so far. he concept has already generated considerable interest internationally, from political leaders and city councils. he homes we live in and the way we live are also set to change drastically with this innovative architecture. Aur buildings will no more remain the BfossiliCed imaginationD of the architect> they will change, constantly bringing new views and e!periences to us with time> nor can the architectDs pencil impose an environment on us. $ach building will have its own future and will gain freedom.

Chapter two Prefabrication The future of construction %r. %avid -isher)s revolutionary %ynamic ower, the first building in motion which is the first skyscraper to be entirely assembled in a factory from prefabricated parts, factory made buildings will offers the advantages of any modern industrial product, it saves energy, reduces construction time and dramatically cuts building costs. he prefabricated units arrive at the building site ready for quick and efficient installation, this approach known as the -isher 3ethod also requires far less workers on the construction site than traditional traditionally, In fact each floor of the building can be completed in only seven days and units can also be customiCed according to the owners) needs and styles. $ach individual unit will be completely finished at the new 5otating ower factory in Italy and e!ported worldwide, it will be equipped with all necessary plumbing and electric systems including all finishing from flooring to ceilings, bathrooms, kitchens, cabinets, lighting and furniture.
9
he preassembled units are simply hooked to each other mechanically, this results in environmentally clean construction sites, avoiding unloading of materials, waste, noise and pollution, there will be less risk of accidents to construction workers, and construction time will be reduced by over /E percent. due to their particular construction method, prefabricated buildings will also be easy to maintain and repair, the building)s maintenance facility, type of materials used, and the quality control employed will also make them more durable than any traditional structure. "ince the ancient $gyptians built the pyramids not much has changed in the world of building construction, workers placed a stone on top of another, and brick on top of brick, in FFG, the use of steel was introduced into construction for the $iffel ower in Haris, and beginning in GE2 reinforced concrete was used, with the start of the Industrial 5evolution in FE, products began to be made in factories using industrial methods, but today buildings are still done on site as they were 0,EEE years ago.
“lmost every product used today is the result of an industrial process and can be transported around the world, from cars and boats to computers and clothing, factories are chosen for their ready access to materials, production technology, ine!pensive labour, efficiency, and other conditions that result in high quality at a relatively low cost,” %r. -isher noted. “It is unbelievable that real estate and construction which is the leading sector of the world economy, is also the most primitive, for e!ample most workers throughout the world still regularly use trowels that was first used by the $gyptians and then by the 5omans, buildings should not be different than any other product, and from now on they will be manufactured in a production facility,” %r. -isher stated. he %ynamic ower represents the future of architecture, resulting in a new era of living that will benefit both man and nature. 5enowned Italian architect %r. %avid -isher is the creator of the %ynamic ower, a building in motion. @e has spent more than /E years working to redefine the technical and technological e!tremes of buildings in cities like 6ondon, Jew Kork, 3oscow, @ong Long, Haris and %ubai, he graduated with honors from the Mniversity of -lorence where later he served as a professor of architecture and structural engineering. -isher is the creator of the world)s first building in motion, the %ynamic ower heralds a new era of architecture buildings in motion that will challenge traditional architecture to become the symbol of a new philosophy that will change the look of our cities and the concept of urban living.

Chapter four The rotation I think we all are aware that construction technology hardly changed in the course of the years. It was clear to me on the other hand that we can use for this building, that I tend to call “a machine for living”, many other technologies that e!ist in other fields. he phases of design got me and our engineers, taking part in the design of the 5otating ower, very much involved with our “partners” industries such as (osch. 9e tried to apply technology e!isting in different fields such as air space, trains, massive machines and tools, the large telescopes, bridges, off shore platforms and cranes. he rotation of the floors is done with steel bearings and combination of air?cushion, allowing the floors to rotate smoothly and with no vibrations. here is limited power of about 0 L9 required to rotate a floor. he drive system is situated in the base of each floor so it can not be seen and in the same time it allows easy maintenance when required. he structure is based on a reinforced concrete core of about mt diameter that carries all the vertical loads. he floors will be all made of steel structure, becoming a monolithic platform, with a cantilever up to about 2 meters. he floors will be connected to the core in a way that will allow a continuous rotation to either direction, with no vibrations or noise. his architecture is revolutionary even in the way itDs built. It is in fact the first building produced in a factory, apart from the concrete core. ItDs produced of complete lu!ury units in a factory, including all plumbing, electrical, air conditioning and installed on the concrete core right on location. his read 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. (esides, this architecture made of single separated floors offer higher seismic resistance than any other normal building. %ynamic rchitecture is designed for better living even before itDs finished. he readymade technology allows a revolutionary implementation which is the quickest way to build a tower: building time is reduced from /E to F months. he revolutionary readymade technology, plus the fact that it moves to the wind, allows the building to be ./ times more resistant to earthquakes.

A '*+ *,$ & ,**' B3""' he %ynamic ower, the world)s first building in motion, takes the concept of green buildings to the ne!t level where it will generate electricity for itself as well as other nearby buildings, making it the first skyscraper designed to be self powered. he building generates electricity from wind turbines mounted horiContally between each floor, eighty story building will have up to seventy nine wind turbines, making it a true green power plant while traditional vertical wind turbines have some environmental negative impact, including obstruction of views and the need for roads to build and maintain them, the %ynamic ower)s wind turbines are practically invisible and e!tremely quiet due to their special shape and the carbon fiber material they are made of. nother environmentally green element of the %ynamic ower is the photovoltaic cells that will be placed on the roof of each rotating floor to produce solar energy, appro!imately EN of each roof will be e!posed to the sun, so a building that has FE roofs will equal the roofing space of E similar siCe buildings. In addition, natural and recyclable materials including stone, marble, glass and wood will be used for the interior finishing. $nergy will also be saved during construction, which involves pre?fabricating individual units in a factory, this -isher 3ethod not only reduces construction time, but it also results in a cleaner construction site with limited noise, dust, fumes and waste, the shorter building time also results in a less energy consumption than traditional construction methods.

#.1 Costs and construction time
It has been calculated that in addition to the cost savings of up to EN compared to those of traditional building methods, the construction time will be reduced of /EN. he 3ethod will allow the completion of a E?floor skyscraper within F months ;nowadays it would take around /E working months<. -urthermore, the “assemblage” of the 5otating ower would require the presence of appro!imately GE people ;specialiCed workers, technicians and engineers< in the building site, instead of over EEE people in the traditional ones. he 3ethod will turn the site into a place where the modules are only assembled because the structural work has already been completed in the factory. he structural concept of the building is very simple in fact, the only structural element is a single centre core made of concrete. It is faster, less e!pensive then hundred of beams, columns and 'oints and also more sound as it is quite a homogeneous structure with no wick connections. #.$ Customi%ation
In addition, it will be possible to customiCe individual apartments according to ownersD needs and style. %ue to the industrial process, the apartments will offer e!cellent design and an endless variety of customiCations ;see -igure /< mI wish to underline that modules, as a new industrial structure, can easily offer lu!ury standards of living and e!cellent structure quality. #.& 'uality control
he quality standards, from the structural parts to the fittings and finishing, can easily be guaranteed since the modules are manufactured in an industrialiCed structure, and not in a building site where monitoring can be difficult #.( Safety in the wor)in place
nother strong point of the “-isher 3ethod” is safety in the working place. (uilding site workers will be able to operate in comfortable and functional environmental conditions because the various assemblage ;5ather than construction< phases will follow smart, time?saving, well?organiCed sequences. he industrialiCation of house?building in fact is based on the optimiCation of the manufacturing cycle and will turn house?building technique into an industrial model.

hanks to this new 3ethod, the 5otating ower building site will definitely offer outstanding environmental advantages to the cities: traditionally huge, polluted, unsafe building sites will become "mart "ites, comparatively smaller, ecological and safer. #onsidering that the modules have been pre?assembled in the factory, all the negative factors linked to traditional sites will disappear: big space around the building, endless loading and unloading, debris, waste material, noise and traffic. he modules for the 5otating ower will be assembled in dedicated industrial parks where manufacturers of high standard building materials will gather to work on the common pro'ect. he first industrial park will be created in Italy, and it is easy to foresee that the most important Italian manufacturers of interior design furniture and accessories will be the official suppliers of the 5otating ower apartments and hotels, giving a new impulse to “3ade in Italy” brands. In the future these dedicated industrial parks will become possible in any country where a 5otating ower will be built.

hese are the most unique apartments that man can desire with the beautiful view of the 5ussian #apital. ccording to the #hairman of the 3I5O 85AMH "ergey Holonsky, “the brightest feature of the building will be rotation of most floors around the central core, irrespective of the movement of other floors. hus, floors will not be identical, which will allow the building to change the form constantly. nother characteristic feature of the building will be the system of connection of pipelines: all engineering systems of the central core will be connected to the rotating parts of floors, which will allow to use water, electricity, heating and the sewerage in the apartments in a habitual mode. he method of construction will be also unique: the central core will be poured in?place, and the floors will be made section by section at a factory and fastened to the core when assembled, with all 3$H systems and, probably, even furniture”. Qfter initial estimates, this method will allow us to reduce the time of construction minimum to /E N, and besides, to essentially lower the site pollution during constructionQ, ? adds the 5ussian pro'ect manager.
