Innovative Architecture - Engineering

Check out this story from the BBC about a planned building in Dubai where each floor will rotate independently under the command of its owner.The building has 80 stories and is 420 m high, which is more than a quarter mile. The video showing a simulation of what it could look like is quite amazing.

In addition, there are wind turbines built into the building so it will generate its own power. There is a set of wind turbine blades between each floor of the building.
