Rotating Skyscraper

[Wolverine]

There are plans to develop a rotating skyscraper in Dubai. Pretty interesting, although I can imagine a brazillian problems they will need to solve first. Still, I didn't believe they could build an island shaped like a palm tree either.

One of my friends sent this to me about a week ago. Looks pretty cool although I agree, there seems like there will be a ton of problems that they must overcome.

...complete with a parking space inside the apartment.

how on earth will they accomplish that on the 80th floor?

From the floor plan layout, it looks like the parking spaces are in the center column. So maybe the elevators are capable of handling cars.

All they need to do is design it to rotate vertically and horizontally. Then creatively apply a little paint and you will have the very first "Rubix" building.
