Peculiarities of the construction of rotating buildings

Abstract

The main goal of architects when designing, depending on the purpose of the buildings, is to create the most perfect and convenient working or living conditions for people. One of the important factors in this regard is to ensure the orientation of the building's facade in such a way that daylight and sunlight penetrate as much as possible. Based on the above, to meet this requirement, buildings are often equipped with wide windows, glazed balconies, or their facade parts are completely covered with stained glass. Many buildings include a large number of terraces and open balconies. Many architects have gone further and have already implemented many projects where the building itself or its floors rotate and it is possible to orient it in the desired direction. The idea of ​​​​building rotating buildings arose at the beginning of the last century and gradually developed to such an extent that for several years now very interesting projects of rotating skyscrapers have been developed. Due to its engineering solution, the construction of such buildings is associated with significant costs, and their implementation is only related to finding financing.
