Personally, this is a very interesting way to build new skyscrapers. It's a new dimension that is given to architecture and designing of towers.

The design is really amazing. If you see the videos of what such a tower can do, I can't wait to see anything like that.

But in reality, I don't know if it's possible to build something like that. Parking your cars in the tower itself is useless and even stupid. So if this building is really going to be build, I think they will 'delete' this part.

I read the 'toilet flush'-problem: I have no idea how they will solve this problem... Each floor rotates 360° so it's not possible to connect any pipe at all with the center of the building which is on solid ground.

Maybe more details will be published in a few weeks about these two skyscrapers (one in Dubai and one in Moscow as far as I know).
