Once a skyscraper has been designed, the shape doesn’t really change. But this new, innovative design by Italian architect David Fisher allows a skyscraper to change shape, almost every minute. Each floor can rotate on its own axis, to create a completely different look every few hours. The floors are powered by turbines, one for every single one of the 80-story building. Two of these skyscrapers will be built in the near future, one in Dubai and one in Moscow.
