Shape Shifting Building Plans Unveiled

If New York-based architect David Fisher has his way the "world's first building in motion," an 80 story shape shifting skyscraper will be built in Dubai by 2010. "You can adjust the shape the way you like every given moment," Fisher said. "It's not a piece of architecture somebody designed today and that's it. It remains forever. It's designed by life, shaped by time." The building will also be the worlds first skyscraper built from prefabricated units, with each floor capable of rotating independently. You can own a unit for between $4 million and $40 million, but hey where else can you buy an apartment where the view changes at any given moment? CNN story here.
