 * DYNAMIC ARCHITECTURE || [[image:presentacion_ingles_1.jpg width="505" height="242"]] ||


 * Good afternoon I'm going to talk about the dynamic architecture, but first we have to know the definition of architecture. Architecture is the art of designing and constructing buildings or spaces for the use of man. Considered as art since it leads to an aesthetic search. Architecture has been a part of man's life from the beginning of times, and it has gone from caves, pyramids, temples and castles, to houses, buildings and skyscrapers; but after thousands of years of static architectural constructions comes David Fisher and steps forward into the future with his Rotating Skycrapes, bringing us the edgy dynamic architecture with three major revolutions.

The first revolutionary aspect is related to the shape of the building, which changes continuously. It is “Architecture as Part of the Environment”, adjusting to the sun and the wind, to the view and to our momentary requirements. For example each floor of The Rotating Skyscraper, can rotate separately, changing every second the shape of the building. You can therefore wake up with the sun rising into your bedroom and enjoy the sunset over the ocean at dinner time.

The second revolution that the Dynamic Skyscraper brings is the method of construction. To this futuristic design solution, David Fisher has added another unique innovation: Prefabrication. It is in fact the first building produced in a factory, giving construction a new industrial approach. Very fast construction times, usage of a limited number of workers, thus reducing site risks and enabling cost savings. The building, made of single separate floors, is structurally sound and flexible at the same time, being of very high seismic resistance.

The third revolution is born from combining technology and luxury with environment. The skyscraper's wind turbines, positioned horizontally between each floor, and solar ink on its many roofs will produce energy making the tower the first self-powered building. Thus the Rotating Tower, a unique architectural solution, becomes also a "power station" producing green energy for the city.

We conclude that the dynamic architecture is a solution to different types of problems in different aspects of both construction cost and environment and is a revolution for being the first architecture of four dimensions since it changes with time. The dynamic architecture is really a step forward and a glimpse to the imagination and that shows how our near future could be and lead us to imagine what's to come.

__** Burj Khalifa **__

Burj Khalifa lifts the world's head proudly skywards, surpassing limits and expectations. Rising gracefully from the desert and honouring Dubai with a new glow. Burj Khalifa is at the heart of Dubai and its people; the centre for the world's finest shopping, dining and entertainment and home for the world's elite.

Construction began on 21 September 2004, with the exterior of the structure completed on 1 October 2009. The building officially opened on 4 January 2010.The total cost for the project was about US$1.5 billion.

The design of Burj Khalifa is derived from patterning systems embodied in Islamic architecture. According to the structural engineer, Bill Baker of SOM, the building's design incorporates cultural and historical elements particular to the region.
