Dubai is undoubtedly one of the most “Crazy” proving grounds in the history of human architecture

.

Many people call Dubai “the paradise of Architects”

.

In this city with the largest trade and Commerce in the Middle East, there are many novel and classic works of top architectural firms

.

Like the world’s tallest skyscraper, the tower of Halifax

.

And the dubaiframe building that we’ve described before

.

It has many nicknames, such as “big picture frame”, “gold picture frame”, “Dubai picture frame”, “window of Dubai” and “Dubai gate”

.

And this building, inspired by Apple’s iPod music player, is called the pad

.

The 6.5-degree building is actually a 24 story apartment building with 231 smart apartments

.

In Dubai, a poor country with only money left, one myth after another was born..

.

But! According to Hayri Atak, a famous architect from Turkey, these are not enough! As a result, he recently designed a building called “squall tower”, which once again overturned our traditional imagination of architecture

.

The skyscraper is composed of three curvilinear buildings with unique shape

.

The buildings are connected by several air corridors, forming a unique shape of “Trinity”

.

But its biggest highlight is that it can rotate by itself! Yes, the squall tower can take you 360 degree rotation in two days to enjoy the scenery of Dubai from different angles

.

So here comes the question….

.

How can such a huge building spin? What’s the secret of this building’s spin? It turned out that the base of the building was an almost suspended structure, and a huge motor was installed

.

Inspired by wind turbines, Hayri Atak adopts a different strategy from traditional super high-rise buildings to resist wind

.

The three spiral main bodies of the building are placed on a giant rotatable base, which is fixedly connected with the central axis and the base

.

When the motor starts, driven by the base, the whole building turns around the central axis like a propeller

.

At the same time, each cross-section of the building is designed to be streamlined, so that it can effectively rotate with minimum resistance

.

The squall tower will not be affected by the weather, and will rotate at a constant speed with or without wind, once every 48 hours

.

This rotating design also provides a 360 degree panoramic view of Dubai for every visitor, and switches between ocean oriented and city oriented views

.

So, how do people get into this building? It turns out that there are three entrances in different directions at the rotating base of the building, but the position of these entrances is changing with the continuous rotation of the building, which is also a kind of feature

.

In addition, there is a circular parking apron at the center of the top of the building, from which visitors can enter the building

.

It is worth mentioning that because the building can also be rotated by wind alone, it can also be used to generate electricity for itself

.

Speaking of Hayri Atak, the architect’s design is famous for his brain holes and boldness

.

One of his most famous concept designs is to build a boutique hotel on the cliff of Preikestolen in the Norwegian pulpit

.

Even if you look at the pictures, you feel adrenaline soaring, not to mention living in it

.

However, the emergence of this group of conceptual design has aroused the enthusiastic response of global adventurers! The biggest feature and selling point of this hotel is the cantilever glass swimming pool, which is worthy of the name of “living on the edge”

.

This transparent swimming pool, which extends outwards and floats in the air, can bring full sensory stimulation to the visitors who come here to play, at the same time, it also has a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Norwegian fjords

.

This time, the square tower building in Dubai is attractive enough just to see the effect picture: it is not affected by the weather, rotates every 48 hours, and the entrance changes at any time

.

Netizens have exclaimed: this building is like a science fiction film, which blinds me again

.

In general, the square tower is not a “large” revolving restaurant

.

It will make new breakthroughs in engineering structure, design aesthetics, architectural function and material technology, adding magnificent symbolic elements to Dubai’s incomparable skyline

.

There is no doubt that this rotating building will inject vitality and strength into the world in 2021, and will become another landmark building in Dubai and even in the world

.

Dubai is really rich and dares to pay for such a crazy idea

.

We are also looking forward to entering this revolving building together as soon as possible! 1) some of the pictures in this article are from the Internet, and the copyright belongs to the original author and source
