Slowly this thesis is taking form. I've gotten through creative context and am now defining what I have termed Degrees of Robustness. Working on 2 Degrees, has had me scouring the web in search of buildings that move, and course where but in Dubai can you find such fantasies realized. Dr. David Fisher the design of Dynamic Towers, is about to realize the large scale actuation of buildings.
"The Dynamic Tower heralds a new era of architecture: Buildings in motion will challenge traditional architecture, becoming the symbol of a new philosophy that will change the look of our cities and the concept of living.
The Dynamic Tower is environmentally friendly, with the ability to generate electricity for itself as well as other buildings nearby making it the first building designed to be self-powered, it achieves this feat with wind turbines fitted between each rotating floor. An 80-story building will have up to 79 wind turbines, making it a true green power plant.
The Dynamic Tower is also the first skyscraper to be built entirely from prefabricated parts that are custom made in a workshop, resulting of fast construction and of substantial cost savings . this approach known as the Fisher Method, also requires far less workers on construction site while each floor of the building can be completed in only seven days, units can also be customized according to the owners needs and styles"
Need to assess if this fit with 2 degree of 3...hmmm
