The Cayan Tower, formerly known as the Infinity Tower before it was opened, is a residential tower built in Dubai by Cayan Real Estate Investment and Development. The tower is 306m tall and rotates a full 90 degrees from its base to the top, and is now the tallest building in the world with a 90 degree rotation (Turning Torso in Malmö, Sweden by Santiago Calatrava held this record previously). Due to the intense heat in Dubai, the rooms of the tower are designed in such a way that it would not be affected by direct sunlight due to titanium panels on cast-in-place concrete columns aided with repetitive staggered screen panels to stop penetrating sunlight from disturbing the residents of the unit, and helping to reduce energy usage by reducing solar gain. The tower is designed by Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill (SOM).

Dimensions

At base: 25 x 25 x 181

:) How do you get those curves? All by hand im guessing, and if so how long do these builds usually take you? The quality of these skyscrapers that you crank out are always amazing and they come out fast as well haha
