supposedly the rotation will always be slow enough to where there won't be any problems with motion sickness. In addition some of the floors (for the right price) allow you to control all the motion. I think this sounds like a cool idea, but my concern is that this building will require a great deal more maintenence than typical buildings. You have huge moving parts, periodically these building components are going to have to be inspected, repaired or replaced. What is the cost, what kind of inconvenience would this be for the people living in the building and who would oversee the developers/owners to make sure that all the proper safety inspections were occurring. This seems particularly relevant given the architects somewhat dubious credentials.
