SkyscraperThe Associated PressArchitect Dr.
David Fisher unveiled the Dynamic Tower, the
world's first building in motion. The rotate
skyscrapers, which are planned worldwide,
have floors which rotate independently to
create a building that constantly changes
shape. (June 24)Is it the skyscraper of the
future? Or just a "pie in the
sky" idea? Italian architect David
Fisher unveiled in New York the design for
what he's calling the world's first "building
in motion." It's an 80-story
residential tower with revolving floors,
ostensibly set for construction in Dubai this
fall. ((David Fisher,
Architect)) "It's the first
building that is dynamic, changing its'
shape. You can adjust the shape any given
moment." Fisher says he is also
slated to build one of the "dynamic"
buildings in Moscow, and, he hopes, New York
City. He says the buildings also
double as power generators: wind turbines on
every floor will provide power.
"Wind has a very negative affect on
skyscrapers we all know. So I say 'why do we
want to fight the wind?' Why don't we use the
wind, to our own benefit? The
Dubai condos are going for three-thousand
dollars a square foot. Lifts will
allow penthouse residents to park their cars
right in their apartments. Fisher
says the building parts will be prefabricated
in a factory in Italy then assembled at the
final location. The architect
says he'd like to have the Dubai building
ready to live in by 2010. Ted
Shaffrey, The Associated Press, New York

| Anna Nicole Smith "Skyscraper" extended outtakes |
 |
Outtakes and Oscar clips from one of Anna
Nicole Smith's classic movies digitized from
an umpteenth generation VHS tape. The fact
that this movie was completed within a decade
is amazing, since Anna Nicole was unable to
even recite her lines immediately after
hearing them read to her. Special thanks to
Paul F. Tompkins and whomever originally
compiled this montage. R.I.P. Vickie Lynn
Hogan.
