Default New Dubai Skyscraper - Dynamic
Not sure if this is new or not...but it's pretty interesting.

Architecture:
Wait for the music to stop and then the Dubai Skyscraper will "unfold."
Dubai Skyscraper with rotating floors resulting in a constantly changing shape of the tower. Wind turbines located between each of the rotating floors and solar panels provide all the power for the building and five nearby buildings as well:

I have trouble believing that wind turbines and solar panels will provide ALL the power for the building (and five others), but great concept.

The windmills spin separately from the floors. The floors spin at a maximum rotation of 1 revolution every 90 minutes.
