Have you ever seen a building that "dances"?How much labor do you think it takes to build a skyscraper from the ground?I have to say that Dubai is really a magical country, it not only has the world's tallest man-made building, the Burj Khalifa, but also the world's largest artificial island project, Palm Island, and even the world's first skyscraper that can dance, the Da Vinci Spiral Tower, what is its charm and why can it dance?

As the most luxurious place in the world, Dubai's super-tall buildings have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and each one has its own characteristics, so it can be said that each one is giving the designer a problem, each is challenging the architectural miracle, therefore, many tourists want to go to Dubai to see these fantasy buildings. But after all, high-rise buildings are fixed, and which building to choose to climb to the top to enjoy the scenery has also become a more tangled problem in everyone's minds.

As a result, Dubai, which is full of tyrants, directly built a moving tower, which is the Da Vinci Rotating Tower, which was designed by the Italian architect David Fischer, and it is the world's first rotating skyscraper that uses wind power to generate electricity. Why can it dance, this is to talk about its unique structure, the whole tower has 80 floors, each floor is staggered, there is a shaft in the middle of the building, the tower as a whole around this axis is spiraling, there are also wind turbines between the floors, the electric energy generated by the turbines can supply the free rotation of the floors, it looks like a big snake, it can not only achieve energy self-sufficiency, but also enough electricity to use up to the surrounding 5 buildings of the same size. The constant rotation of the floors also makes the whole tower look like a beautiful girl dancing constantly, and at night, the gentle lighting of the tower adds a mysterious color to it, and it looks beautiful.

Some people say that since the floor rotates, won't the people who live in it feel dizzy?Actually, no, each floor will only rotate by a maximum of 6 meters per minute, and it takes 90 minutes to rotate once a circle.

It has to be said that the construction method of this strange building is also very unusual, like building blocks, all the parts are pre-assembled in the factory, and then moved to the site to assemble them one by one. Ninety percent of the building was completed in the same factory and then shipped to the site, resulting in the entire tower being erected in just 18 months, and the only part of the tower completed on site was the core structure.

One of the benefits of this prefabricated skyscraper is that since the materials are transported directly to the site after the factory is completed, it doesn't even require too much labor cost, there are only more than 90 workers on the entire construction site, the project is more secure, and of course, the total cost of its construction will be significantly reduced, about 80% lower than that of a normal skyscraper.

Some people may be worried that the Da Vinci Rotating Tower has so many moving parts, so how will its maintenance problem be solved?Don't worry, the towers are built with standard components, and repairs can only be replaced with the same parts shipped from the factory.

Standing upstairs, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Dubai from any angle, the height of the entire spiral tower is about 460 meters, in addition to office areas, residential buildings, a luxury hotel, and an observation deck, from the outside, the revolving Da Vinci Tower looks like a living building.

In addition, there are many countries where developers have expressed strong interest in building such dynamic buildings, and perhaps in the near future, more places like Canada, Germany, and Italy will also see dancing skyscrapers. So what do you think of this amazing revolving tower?
