Finally, take a look at this rotating skyscraper.
250 meters, 59 floors mounted in a concrete core that will serve as a rotating shaft. The floors will be pre-assembled and then attached to the core of the building. Each floor will rotate separate from the others.
The tower will have solar and aeolian electric system generators to be self-sufficient.
The project is Italian and has not begun yet.
It is predicted that its construction will last two and a half years. The projected cost will be around $500 million.
