David Fisher (fl. c. 2000) is an Israeli-born Italian architect in Florence. He graduated from the University of Florence and also was a lecturer of architecture and structural engineering at the same university. He has designed buildings and proposed schemes for the restoration of ancient monuments. He has dealt with prefabrication and construction technologies. He has invented the concept of the “rotating tower”. David Fisher is the designer of the proposed rotating Dynamic Tower, billed as the world's first building in motion. It was designed with the firm Dynamic Architecture Group.^[4] The intention was to build an 80-story skyscraper in Dubai. It would have had revolving floors, some of which could have moved on command, providing residents with an ever-changing shape along with a changing view of the Persian Gulf. This would have been Fisher's first skyscraper design.^[5] In addition to Dubai, rotating towers were thought for London, Paris, New York, Moscow and Bogotá. These towers are planned to be built.
