With each year that passes the fireworks presentations around the world seem to be getting better and better – this past new year’s eve celebrations were no different.

As always Sydney definitely didn’t disappoint. London put up a good show too, nice synchronization and Dubai offered something different.

Check out the videos below or have a look here as and when people update with more videos from around the world. Thanks to Michelle for the links.

David Fisher of Dynamic Architecture has come up with a design concept for a high-rise building like you may not have seen before. A high-rise building with 80 floors, each of which can rotate independantly. Between each floor is a wind turbine to harness wind and convert it into energy used by the building and residents can have their car brought up to their apartment with a special lift for motor vehicles. Each apartment unit will be prefabricated offsite (including electrical, plumbing and finishings) and they claim each floor will take about 3 days to put together – much quicker than conventional building construction. 

You can find out more about the project on the Dynamic Architecture website.
