Shape-changing Skyscrapers

Shape-changing Skyscrapers

After taking in an expansive view of Manhattan from a friend's apartment, architect David Fisher came up with a way to make the most of a good location: a rotating building.

Fisher now hopes to build his so-called dynamic towers - prefabricated sun- and wind-powered skyscrapers that will keep changing shape as each floor rotates around a central axis - in Moscow and Dubai by the end of 2010.
