What is the principle of rotating architecture in Dubai?

The revolving building is built on the hillside of Barro Eivira, which is the highest terrain in Curitiba. From a distance, the white cylindrical building on the 1 1 floor is very eye-catching. Careful observation shows that the first half of the building is actually cylindrical, and the second half is an ordinary square building. Mr. Abidjan, the manager of the building management department, said that in order to avoid conflicts between residents living on the same floor because they want the floors to rotate in different directions, each floor of the rotating building is only for one household, with an area of 300 square meters. The cylindrical part is the living room, dining room and bedroom, which can be rotated, and the connected second half is the kitchen, bathroom and laundry room and other ancillary facilities, which cannot be rotated.

According to holman, the mechanical engineer who built this building, the principle of rotation is not complicated, that is, there is a rotating shaft, and each floor is fixed on the shaft, on which huge chains and power devices are installed, and the shaft drives each floor to rotate. Because there is no connection between the layers and they operate independently, all layers can operate freely without affecting each other. The rotation can be clockwise or counterclockwise, and the speed can be 1 hour, 2 hours or 3 hours. For safety reasons, the rotation is limited to half an hour at the earliest. So Curitiba people often see such a scene: some floors of this building turn left and some turn right, and the rotation speed is different.

The revolving building adopts the most advanced equipment in the world, and its security door is identified according to the fingerprints and photos entered by residents in advance. Security doors and indoor facilities can be remotely controlled by mobile phones at any time, and the luminosity, temperature, humidity and sound can be adjusted at will. The builder of the building, Moro Construction Company, spent 65,438+00 years to complete the project. The whole building cost 6.5438+million reais, about 4.3 million dollars.

After the completion of the revolving building, it has become one of the tourist attractions in Curitiba, with an endless stream of tourists and thousands of registered buyers. But the building has not been sold yet, because the construction company is afraid of losing its patent. Designer Franco revealed that Moro has mastered the technology of building a 30-story or even 50-story revolving building, and plans to build a revolving building in 0/35 cities around the world.

"This is a fair building. Everyone has the same opinion at any time. No room has the best view. " In today's land, an engineer's words tell the reason why rotary building has become the new favorite of the construction industry.

In June 2007, Dubai, United Arab Emirates will also begin to build the world's first solar integrated rotating building. This 30-story building named "Time Apartment" has a big bearing with a diameter of about 30 meters at the bottom, and 20 small motors help the building rotate at a certain angle every hour. The building is estimated to have about 200 apartments, including one-bedroom, two-bedroom, duplex and penthouse luxury apartments.

In addition, there is a clear time coordinate line outside the building, which echoes the 12 hour clock on the ground and pier, making the whole building like a huge clock that can tell people the time.
