Looks like we will have a shape-shifting future. After BMW showed us how we can have a shape-shifting car, now Dubai will have a unique shape-shifting building. The 80-story Dynamic Tower has been described as the “world’s first building in motion”.
The machinery is the same as any revolving-restaurant like @mosphere, only now it will move the exterior as well. With each of the levels of the building not connected to the above or bottom and can move independently, the building can have a unique shape for each day of the year. It is due for completion in 2010.

I wonder what’s the point - merely aesthetics or something more practical?
