This skyscraper is actually being built. Each floor is arriving at the site prefabricated. The designers/developers are also planning to build others including one in NYC. The floors are on a cylindrical base that is wind powered making the building "Green". It is a very unique idea and I think will be a big hit for those who can afford to live there.

Pff

I wouldn't want to live in that. I literally like a rock solid home and not something that's turning all day long.

I don't think this is really that logical.

Anyone who's been on a boat knows that feeling you get after your on land again, where it feels like your still moving.

It's not too practical either, moving parts = weaker structure. Maybe one floor at the top is okay, but that their is overdoing it.

But iono.

-.-

they're not retarted; they wouldn't pump billions of dollars into something they know will not be profitable.

all the sceptics said the Palm Island wouldn't be profitable, but they sold all the condo's within 48 hours.

It isn't profitable, that's why they are building more ridiculous stuff there to attract people going to Dubai. But no matter how green they are, I doubt they can change the scorching hot climate there.


oke. i don't feel it's useful to argue with you :)

You forgot to mention that those building will have the ability to travel in space, and the rotation helps it flush toilets. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
