World's first rotating skyscraper to be built within two years

An Italian-based architect has revealed plans for the world's first rotating skyscrapers, which are to be built in Dubai and Moscow by the end of 2010.

David Fisher's solar and wind-powered towers give occupants the ability to control the rotation of their floor, with each cycle taking between one and three hours to complete.

He said: "This building will have endless different shapes."

The skyscrapers will also feature car lifts so residents can park right outside their homes.

A 70-storey building for Moscow has been given planning permission and an 80-storey application for Dubai is awaiting approval.

New York is the planned location for a third rotating skyscraper.

The towers are expected to cost around $700 million (£350 million) to develop, with apartments ranging in size from 1,334 sq ft to 12,916 sq ft.

Prices for the units are expected to be around $3.7 million to $36 million.
