A new type of swirling skyscraper is set to change city skylines forever. An Italian architect has revealed his ambitious plans to create 'dynamic towers', in which each floor fully rotates up to once an hour.

There is already a building like this in Switzerland. Have been there a couple of years again. It is rediculously high up in the Alpes but it is amazingly beautifull up there! Here's a link to their website.

One of the first James Bond movies was also filmed there.

won't this thing make you dizzy?
will the bearings work out?


i think it is a very good concept, but would be better with a joystick, rather than the wind blowing you.

You think a plane can take those down?

Maybe a joke, but don't put it past 'them'

the indoor ice thing in the middle of desert made oil hit 100 dolla
