This skyscaper will spin on its own.

This picture you see here is about a 80 story building that is going to come up in Dubai.

"So what?"-you ask-right?

Read below and you will ask, "Is it so?"
This building is to going to be taller than the Empire State building.

Its height is going to be 1300 Ft.

And this building is going to move-yes, literally it is going to rotate on its own axis.

The spinning floors, hung like rings around an immobile cement core, would offer residents a constantly changing view of the Persian Gulf and the city’s futuristic skyline.

Each floor is going to prefabricated in a factory in Italy and then shipped to the site to be attached to the core.

Assembling a building in this fashion, he said, will require only 80 technicians and take only 20 months, saving tens of millions of dollars, for a total cost of $700 million to build.

The designer of this sky scraper is David Fisher, an Italian who had never built a skyscraper so far.

"It is fine and good so far but what about the plumbing man?"-someone asked. Fisher said the pipes will connect to the core via attachments similar to the ones used by military aircraft for in-flight refueling.
