This building will be the new symbol for Dubai.

This tower which design with segments that has its own centre, capable itself to rotate each floor independently on different speed, using voice recognition technology, to decide its rotating direction!!

And the most significant amazing thing is, the voice recognition is programmed to known and to execute 'left and right' rotation in all language!!

The tower was to said to prepare car elevator up to the 80 floors!!

The tower rotates using photovoltaic cells with wind turbine energy technology, which the cells are located at each floor.
