ARCHITECTURE IS TECHNOLOGY
•
Since the beginning, with his involvement in “Binishells”
technology, David Fisher’s design studio has developed a vision
of architecture resulting from technological and economic
considerations, with aesthetics being the natural output of the
above.

ARCHITECTURE IS FEASIBILITY
•
Since the first large project, “the Marriott Aruba” , Dr. Fisher has taken
part in the complete process of construction, from the feasibility study,
to financing, to construction management and the final
commissioning of the project.
ARCHITECTURE IS FUNCTIONALITY
•
•
For David Fisher Architecture is the space for living and the life
of the people must not be conditioned by an architect’s
extravagance.
Infinity Design gives puts a strong focus on the flexibility of the
space as life, architecture must change together with the needs
of the people and the changes of the environmental conditions.

REDEFINING DYNAMIC ARCHITECTURE
Dynamic Architecture buildings keep modifying their
shape
Traditional architecture – Gravity
Dynamic architecture – Motion dynamics
A mechanical approach to civil construction –
Transdisciplinary
Buildings will no more remain the ‘fossilized imagination’
of the architect;
They will change, constantly bringing new views and
experiences to us with time

Suite Vollard
•
•
The Suite Vollard is a futuristic residential building in Curitiba,
Parana, Brazil.
This Apartment Building was Designed by a team of Architects,
headed by Bruno de Franco & David Fisher
•
•
This building is the only one of its kind in the world, as each of
the 11 apartments can rotate 360º.
Each apartment can spin individually in any direction. One
rotation takes a full hour.
•
•
The apartment rings rotate around a static core used
for building services, utilities, and all areas which
require plumbing.
Each apartment was sold for approximately R$
400,000.00 ($US 300,000.00).

It will be the first building in the World to be entirely
constructed from factory made prefabricated parts.
These parts are being manufactured in a factory in
Altamura, Italy.
It will require just 600 people in the assembly facility and
80 technicians on the site instead of min. 2000 workers
for a similar building.
the consturction will complete by the end of this year.

“The Rotating Tower Of Dubai will be the First
Industrial Skyscraper ever constructed. 90% of
the building will be prefabricated and assembled
on a central core, the only part built with
traditional reinforced concrete poured on the
site.”
“I call the non-moving buildings
Tombstones......buildings should start being part
of the universe, and therefore dynamic..... How
could one think that digital homes of future will be
as immobile as our grandmother’s house.”
