That is fantastic! I wonder how much it cost to build?
I dunno if I could live in a moving building, though. I get nervous just walking on a boat.
Thanks, Stil! I love it!

Thanks Stil. Very futuristic. It would be interesting to see one of those buildings after it has been built.

I agree...it would be interesting to see the finished product. I just wonder how well it can stand up to storms...with all those shifting parts.

WOW, that's amazing.
I went to Dubai a few years ago and was absolutely amazed by the unique architecture of it's buildings.

Cool, didn't think that could ever be possible. I got my dad to watch it he's an architect he thought it was clever but probably not as cheap and sustainable as they make it out to be. Dubai is one of the fastest developing countries, but I wonder whether they will actually risk building this as all the dangers such as natural disasters (earthquakes, hurriacanes, etc) makes this building not worth their while. Time will tell!

Hey Stil,
I had my kids watch this and write a couple of paragraphs about it in class a bit back. During our research we found out there is already a rotating building in Brazil. If memory serves me correctly it is called Suite Vollard...it's been built for a bit...you can probably google that and find a pic.
Peace.
