the engineer nerd in me (my mind went straight to the gutter there but hopefully yours didn't... but now it will so just try to banish that from your mind.) found this story fascinating...
"World's 1st 'building in motion' planned"
in dubai, the 'spinning' floors would give residents a constantly changing view of the city and the persian gulf. the floors would be hung like rings around an immobile cement (ahem... not to get technical but i think they mean concrete... cement is hardly strong enough by itself.) core.
i'm most curious about how you're going to get onto each level from the immobile centre core... there's that revolving resturaunt at the CN tower... anyone ever been there? care to give some insight on how that works? i know it moves so slowly that you can't actaully feel it but still...
anyway... hopefully this david fisher architect guy can make it happen - it would be spectacular to see!
