DUBAI, the playground of the rich, has a new prestige project. A shape-shifting luxury condominium called Dynamic Tower. The 420m-tall building features 80 apartments that spin at voice command around a central column. Each apartment will take between one and three hours to make a 360-degree rotation. Architect David Fisher, who presented the project in New York on Tuesday, said the energy-self-sufficient skyscraper should be completed in 2010. Buyers will have to fork out up to US$36 million (S$49 million) for a 1,200 sq m unit.
