• 2. Meaning / Concept Dynamic (of a process or system) characterized by constant change, activity, progress, or movement. Dynamic Architecture / Dynamic Buildings , the start of a new conception in Architecture , a concept of buildings in motion which can be found in many shapes such as: 1. Static-Dynamic (Form, Textures, Colors). 2. Partially-Dynamic (specific spaces, elevations, Interior partitions, Furniture). 3. Fully-Dynamic (the whole Building can rotate, revolve, swivel or pivot). 1/13/2015 3 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka
• 3. Meaning / Concept These buildings provides the possibility to orient the own space: - according to the moments of the day (sun & light). - in relation to the seasons. - in relation to the surrounding environment (views). - For the purposes of protection and defense - or simply to own pleasure. 1/13/2015 4 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka
• 4. 1/13/2015 5 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka Revolving Building Early Idea, 1906 In 1906 American newspaper columnist George Ade described planning a transatlantic voyage and reserving a stateroom that he assumed would be filled with sunlight and warm breezes throughout the crossing. At the outset of the journey, however, he was disappointed to realize that the ship had to turn around as it left the dock, and that his cabin would actually face north “with nothing coming in at the porthole except a current of cold air direct from Labrador”. The experience gave him an idea: The unexpected manner in which the boat turned around has suggested to me a scheme for a revolving apartment house. The building will be set on giant casters and will revolve slowly, so that every apartment will have a southern exposure at certain hours of the day, to say nothing of the advantage of getting a new view every few minutes.
• 5. 1/13/2015 6 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka Revolving Building Early Idea, 1906 Ade was not the first to come up with the idea of a rotating building, but his description and his plans to capitalize upon it neatly typify the development of rotating architecture throughout the twentieth century. With ever-changing vantage points revolving buildings offered a new way of looking at the world. They rewrote spatial relationships within buildings and reconfigured views of the world outside. With gears, motors, and ball bearings they made nature serve the occupant, for climate or lighting control, entertainment or spectacle. Amateur inventors, entrepreneurs, and eccentrics took up the challenge of designing a viable, affordable version for their own use or to package and sell to the public. Like George Ade’s many of these designs were never built, but remained elusive visions of a revolving future.
• 6. History of Rotating Buildings The dynamic/rotating buildings enjoyed a surprisingly long life—and a recent rebirth across cities in Asia and the Middle East.

The room which has just been discovered was always turning around itself just like earth does and was powered by a constant flow of water from the sea and two small lakes (Albula waters). 1st Century 64 – 70 AD
• 8. Early Rotating Buildings Renaissance design, like technical innovation in general, was often driven by military necessity. Throughout history fighting forces have sought advantage with stronger swords, thicker walls, and quieter submarines. Advances in metal and casting technology created powerful artillery that rendered obsolete existing fortifications, rotary machine tooling enabled more accurate gun barrels, and machine guns exponentially multiplied firing rates. Great strides in the mechanization of war were made during the nineteenth century. At least two designs were proposed, but ultimately never built. 1/13/2015 9 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka Renaissance rotary machine tool for wars
• 9. Early Rotating Buildings Like a small-scale Parthenon on the Acropolis, the summer house sat atop a mount overlooking the palace garden with its features. It offered opportunities to experience and meditate on landscape that was handcrafted to appear naturalistic. In fact, the mount itself was man-made from earth excavated to create a pond elsewhere on the grounds. 1/13/2015 10 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka Revolving Summer House and mount at kensington Gardens by Bernard Lens the Younger , 1736

• 11. Early Rotating Buildings 1/13/2015 12 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka In 1841, Theodore Timby, a nineteen-year-old from Syracuse, New York, came up with his own design for a land-based revolving gun tower. To illustrate the invention he carved a miniature version from a four-inch block of ivory. The following year he built an ironclad model seven feet in diameter and in January 1843 he patented the idea.
• 12. Early Rotating Buildings 1/13/2015 13 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka In 1883 French caricaturist and novelist Albert Robida published the first in a trilogy of illustrated futuristic novels. The Twenteith Century predicted a future of comfort and social equality made possible by nineteenth century industry and innovation. In Robida’s vision of futuristic life in Paris, houses that combine the appearance of chateaus and train carriages are constructed on a circular platform placed atop existing dwellings. The platform is rotated by a servant immediately below using a hand crank, and the tail or fin extending diagonally from the bottom of the rotating section is similar to those seen on post mills. According to the author, the rooftop rotating house is necessary because most transportation in the twentieth century would be done in dirigible-like flying machines called aerocabs and aeroyachts that would be boarded at roof level, and the growth of the Parisian population and pollution would force new construction ever higher.

• 15. Rotating Restaurants A Rotating/revolving restaurant is a usually tower restaurant eating space designed to rest atop a broad circular revolving platform that operates as a large turntable. The building remains stationary and the diners are carried on the revolving floor. The revolving rate varies between one and three times per hour and enables patrons to enjoy a panoramic view without leaving their seats. Such restaurants are often located on upper stories of hotels, television towers, and skyscrapers. It wasn't just the recipes that were faddish. The 1960s were halcyon times for restaurant experiences that hold almost no appeal today, from the dine-o-mat to the drive-in diner. But one curious product of this era had true staying power: the revolving restaurant. 1/13/2015 16 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka 1933 Sightseeing Restaurant for Chicago world’s fair. 1959 The Stuttgart Fernsehturm (TV.

• 17. The revolving restaurant's debut actually occurred in Germany, with its first iteration appearing in 1959 in Stuttgart. Civic authorities constructing a TV. tower were looking for some additional means to wring use from the building, and they found it in food. They put a restaurant in the tower, and in the spirit of postwar West German economic hubris, the Stuttgart Fernsehturm would turn— offering at-table views of not merely one but every possible vista. 1/13/2015 18 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka TV.

• 18. The first revolving restaurant in the U.S., La Ronde, opened in 1961 in Honolulu, atop the Ala Moana Building (it's since been lost). La Ronde was soon followed by the Space Needle, built for the 1962 Worlds Fair in Seattle, and then by a range of North American peers that are likely familiar to you: structures—and their respective restaurants—largely associated with 1960s and 1970s fairs and expositions, from the CN Tower in Toronto, the Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls, and the Sunsphere in Knoxville, to the Tower of the Americas in San Antonio. 1/13/2015 19 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka The Sunsphere in knoxville, 1982 World’s Fair
• 19. Most European spinning restaurant construction happened at the same time, from the Donauturm in Vienna to the Olympiaturm in Munich. Towers in Cairo, Kenya, the Philippines, and many other locations soon joined the revolving revolution. The Eastern Bloc embraced the gimmick too, most notably in the Fernsehturm in East Berlin and the Ostankino Tower in Moscow, but also more remotely, in Tallinn and across the Central Asian Republics. 1/13/2015 20 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka Cairo Tower in Egypt, 1961
• 20. Designing a building on a turntable The basic form of revolving portion of the building was simple: A circular structure containing a platform rotated around a central core, which held elevators, kitchens, and so on, designed to ensure that every table cycled through a view of the surrounding landscape at a carefully calibrated speed. 1/13/2015 21 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka
• 21. Designing a building on a turntable Rotating a floor, as it turns out, isn't particularly technically complicated. Mickey Steinberg, a structural engineer on several notable John Portman hotel projects (the leafy, atrium-laden designs found in many U.S. cities) explained in a recent interview that the engineering requirements of the revolving structure became quite simple. A mechanism perfected by a Connecticut firm called Macton built the "turntables" for most American and several international revolving restaurants (its only competitor even today is the Chinese firm Weizhong, which has dominated Asian construction and is growing rapidly). The pattern was always the same, Steinberg said: "We built a floor and then we contracted with them to build a turntable." 1/13/2015 22 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka
• 22. Designing a building on a turntable The restaurant rests on a thin steel platform, which sits on top of a series of wheels connected to the floor. The propulsion? Frequently, a motor with only about ¾ horsepower, according to Steinberg, attached to an angled steel plate with "wheels on both sides like a clutch." A prominent question was just how rapidly to turn the platform—how fast to patrons want to spin? Macton recommended 40 to 50 minutes for most rotations, which some thought was merely an arbitrary speed, But Steinberg said that the management at one hotel noticed that people would often get off the spinning deck after one rotation at the same place where they got on—to get another cocktail at the bar. So they decided to subtly encourage the speed, adjusting the rotation to a half hour. "If we speed it up we'll sell more drinks because they'll get off quicker," the hotel management reasoned. Patrons did speed up their drinking—but there was also an unforeseen side effect. "They were also getting sick all the time! So they soon set that back to regular speed." 1/13/2015 23 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka The wheeled turntable mechanism in one rotating tower
• 23. Designing a building on a turntable Typically, the turntable itself was entirely independent of the surrounding structure; a timeworn diner's test was to leave something on the lip of the unmoving edge of the floor and watch it inch away. Some structures completely separated the static core from the spinning outer ring with a set of windows. Whatever their exact engineering, nearly all spinning restaurants were designed with a sole, obvious goal: Unobstructed views—the circular, revolving portion is surrounded by curved glass. There was more variety is to be found in the kind of buildings that supported them, though. 1/13/2015 24 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka
• 24. Rotating Restaurants Forms 1/13/2015 25 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka Most rotating restaurants are like architectural barnacles. They rely on other "host" buildings or natural features to provide the necessary height, concentration of visitors, and a share of the design statement. The host structure or site usually has one of three primary forms: vertical cantilevered towers (the superstars of the genre); commercial and industrial buildings; or mountain tops. Towers build adjacent to tourist-frequented natural wonders like Niagra Falls or expositions like the Tower of the Americas in San Antonio, Texas, served primarily as observation deck, restaurant attraction, and instant landmark. Other towers were first and foremost telecommunications platforms—-revolving restaurants and observation decks were ancillary income generators.
• 25. 1/13/2015 26 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka Spire restaurants, a series of columns or needles supporting an orb or cylinder, are certainly the best- known type—and the stuff of countless skyline whether they accommodate some other function or exist only for the fine view. Occasionally, these towers culminate in observation structures, like the sparkled microphone of the Reunion tower in Dallas, or the pillared disco ball of the Sunsphere in Knoxille. But spires usually rise through and beyond any restaurants. The towers themselves are typically dull linear or mildly narrowing columns; visual interest is a question of whatever cylinder, globe or discus these assorted javelins seem to have speared. They make for interesting contrastive additions to cityscapes, but are generally a pretty uniform lot. Rotating Restaurants Forms

Bottom: The Munich Olympiaturm. The Olympiaturm in Munich, above, is a great example of how a stacking pattern creates visual appeal and interest from afar. The most dynamic spinning buildings have a base that's more than just a pillar. For instance, the lattice frame of the Space Needle makes the tower a rare case of appearing both elegant and dynamic.
• 27. 1/13/2015 28 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka Rotating Restaurants Forms Occasionally observation structures attempt something more strange; the Kamzik Tower near Bratislava, has no central column. Rather, four angled columns run along its corner, an exoskeleton that widens and then narrows again with several clearly separated floors exposed. It looks almost like an Eastern Bloc joke of a building finished non-sequentially that decided to open existing floors no matter how much sky separated them—-and it looks great.

• 28. 1/13/2015 29 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka Rotating Restaurants Forms In only a few cases did designers seem to pay some architectural attention to integrating the restaurant. Several accomplished this by simply building cylindrical structures that naturally mirrored or easily housed circular restaurants at their top. The Cairo Tower and the Kenyatta Conference Center were two such strong cases, using locally- inflected high-rise modernism—from local techniques to materials—to create successful integrated structures.

• 30. 1/13/2015 31 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka Rotating Restaurants Forms Stranger designs crop up elsewhere, such as the Genex Tower in Belgrade, where a spire rises along one office tower volume and is linked to another at its top levels.
• 31. 1/13/2015 32 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka Rotating Restaurants Forms The third category, mountaintop revolving restaurants, is about the simplest expression of the form, given that their locations obviously don't require much of a built platform to achieve a view. You'll find them in the Alps, in the Himalayas, and even, in the case of the Drehrestaurant Allalin, atop a glacier. The best-known mountaintop restaurant is Piz Gloria in Switzerland, whose claim to fame is its role as Telly Savalas' health spa in the 1968 James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

The seven-floor residence boasts an elevator, swimming pool, and a sizable gym. More interestingly, it also features three rooms which resemble large wooden boxes and sit upon operable rotating platforms. Sharifi-ha House's three operable rooms remain in a flat, or "closed" position during cold weather. However, if the sun comes out, each room can rotate 90 degrees outwards with the touch of a button to reveal a terraced area. While the house is in its "open" state, there's also more ventilation and light available to those inside.

Possibly the first, modern, twisted skyscraper constructed was the Turning Torso in Malmö, Sweden. It is designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and officially opened on 27 August 2005. Twisted / Dancing Skyscrapers After the successful completion of the Turning Torso, designers started proposing similar audacious structures elsewhere. Many projects got shelved, others were passed and built, and a handful of them are currently under construction.

• 49. 1/13/2015 50 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka Dynamic Revolution The Fourth Dimension ! The greatest innovation, which characterizes David Fisher’s tower of endless shapes is the introduction of the fourth dimension, Time, as an essential part of the building philosophy. This concept brings first of all a dynamic use of space: not only does the Rotating Tower adjust to its surroundings, it can also comply with its tenants’ needs and whims. Dynamic/Rotating towers and skyscrapers, allow tenants to select their favorite view at any moment, following the sun or letting the apartment rotate slowly to enjoy the view. This means that the Tower's external shape and profile change constantly, projecting a new perception of architecture: what was motionless has become dynamic.
• 50. 1/13/2015 51 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka Dynamic Revolution The Fourth Dimension ! What drove David Fisher towards Dynamic Architecture is the determination to develop new space solutions, and at the same time better living conditions. In simple words, it is easy to see that not much has happened since the Egyptians built the Pyramids: Architecture is still based on the laws of static. David Fisher describe his buildings as "designed by time, shaped by life". Dynamic Architecture is not related only to style and design, it involves a completely new approach to construction: Buildings are endowed with movement and are able to change their shape over time. For all these reasons, David Fisher thinks and designs his buildings with four dimensions, not only height, width and depth, but also “Time”.
• 51. 1/13/2015 52 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka The Rotating Tower brings three main futuristic aspects, three revolutions: 1. The shape of the building changes continuously: Buildings as Part of the Environment, adjusting to the sun and the wind, to the view and to our momentary requirements. Each floor, in fact, can rotate separately, changing every second the shape of the building. The Rotating Skyscraper takes on shapes imposed by time and life, never appearing the same in any two given moments. It is the first building to have four dimensions: Designed by TIME, shaped by LIFE. Dynamic Revolution
• 52. 1/13/2015 53 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka Dynamic Revolution 2. The method of construction (Prefabrication) It is in fact the first building produced in a factory, giving construction a new industrial approach. The entire building, aside from the concrete core, is made of prefabricated units which arrive to the construction site completely finished, including flooring, water piping, air conditioning and all finishes. These units, made of steel, aluminium, carbon fiber and other high quality modern materials, are installed “mechanically” on site. The building, made of single separate floors, is structurally sound and flexible at the same time, being of very high seismic resistance.
• 53. 1/13/2015 54 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka Dynamic Revolution 3. The combining technology and luxury with environment: The skyscraper's wind turbines, positioned horizontally between each floor, and solar ink on its many roofs will produce energy making the tower the first self- powered building. Thus the Rotating Tower, a unique architectural solution, becomes also a "power station" producing green energy for the city.
• 54. 1/13/2015 55 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka Dynamic Towers Advantages 1. Quality control: Industrialization enables much stricter and more reliable quality control procedures. 2. Safety: On-site workers will operate in a functional and organized process and the off-site workers in a comfortable environment, because of smart and well organized assembly procedures. 3. Tailor-made solutions: Owners will be able to customize their apartments according to their desire and avoiding knocking down walls after they receive the key of their apartment. 4. Fast construction: An 80-story skyscraper can be built in 22 months. Pre-assembly in a factory generates significant gains in efficiency and productivity. 5. Cost savings: Of site work and Industrialization generates economies of scale and experience effects that significantly lower cost of construction.

With wind turbines fitted horizontally between each rotating floor, the 80- story building will have up to 79 wind turbine systems, making it a truly green power plant. While traditional vertical wind turbines have environmental and social effects, including the need for roads to build and maintain them, in addition to the noise and the obstruction of views, the Dynamic Tower's wind turbines are practically invisible and extremely quiet due to their special shape and the carbon fiber material of which they are composed.
• 59. 1/13/2015 60 IUG | College of Engineering | Department of Architecture | Aliaa Shamallkh & Roba Baraka Eco-Friendly Dynamic Towers Photovoltaic ink is to be placed on each rotating floor to produce solar energy. With approximately 20% of each roof exposed to the sun and light, a building with 80 roofs provides the roofing space of more than 10 similar size buildings. In addition, natural and recyclable materials including stone, marble, glass and wood are intended for the interior finishing. Further improving the energy efficiency of the Dynamic Tower, insulated glass and structural insulating panels are employed. During construction of the green tower, energy use is drastically reduced due to the prefabrication of the building in a factory.

The “intelligent” building is thus one whose external components become elements of thermal self-regulation, ensuring indoor comfort while reducing energy consumption.

It has a long history as it was a cradle of many civilizations, further it is exposed to many wars and crises since 1948 till now. In the last five years (2009-2014), Gaza exposed three barbarian wars with massive loss of human life and huge systematic destruction of homes. These events caused sequential economic crises, negatively impacted in shaping the urban fabric, and changed the architectural features in Gaza. Therefore, it is difficult to find any application of dynamic architecture with its modern and developed concept. But this video will show you a new perspective on dynamic architecture in Gaza !!
