Jun 25 2008Rotating Skyscraper To Be Built In Dubai

What will they build next? I know! A brand spakin' new Tower of Babel!
Someday...someday.

I don't quite understand how the pottys flush if you keep spinning the pipes all around... Good thing I held on to my Sesame Street Lil' Big John.

aaand on top of all that each room has its own vehicle elevator so you can park outside your room even on the top floor! lazy bastards

Watch, the first company party someone will be really hammered "Hey dude, I totally have an F'n great idea, lets shape the building like a giant glass penis. . ." "you mean like the one your mom uses" "bro you wana take this outside""tsh, lets do this"

. . . I'm sorry my whole idea there just turned into frat kegger . . . Hold on, I can still save it . . .

*beatboxing*
"OOOOOHHHH Snap, Y'all just got served."

or another drunk "i bet i can drive my car through the window and land perfectly fine"

if only Vladimir Tatlin could see this, he would have loved it!!!!

Verne predicted that. they try to impact earth's spin momentum and unfreeze arctic ice. look at the picture, it's already flooded.

I'm amazed / blown away by how much money these people in Dubia are spending on architecture.

Next comes the Rubik's Cube Skyscraper....

So I guess I come to geekologie everyday to read about ANCIENT GOD DAMN NEWS

Well...they better start cracking if they want it up by 2010. That would be some fast construction.

This is absolutely brilliant...must be an extremely innovative architectural team. I want to visit Dubai just to see it.

#10: Don't be an asshat. Just because you saw something, doesn't mean everyone else has.

Dubai has way too much money. I believe, that if it turned into a philanthropic nation, they could end world hunger. But will that happen? Haha, no. Bastards.

Next up, they build the Macross One.

A typical skyscraper over it's first 50yr costs the same in maintainence as it's construction. This thing will burn through that every 10yrs or less. Especially if it's being built first in Italy. The Italians are stunning designers, but precision engineers of reliable technology they ain't!

Good luck to them if they can get this thing to work, but I don't give it good odds.

What if you have motion sickness? Can you make your floor NOT move?

I wonder how long you're going to be waiting for those vehicle elevators. And what happens when the system breaks? Will everybody be stuck in or out of their condos? It's got to be a pain to fix.

Looks cool but doesn't seem very practical.

why do they put all these fun bulidings and such in dubai. who really wants to go all the way over there??

looks like a giant fire hazard to me.

I hope that they synchronize it so that it looks like the first picture at least once a day, cause the rest of the pics look like crap.

#13, Dubai is not really a nation, it's one of United Arab Emirates' emirates/cities.

I've never been there, but I did stop in another city, Abu Dhabi, on my way to Australia. It was a strange place - you could see all the money, and yet the architecture was mixed modern European and Arab. Weird. I wonder if Dubai is like that for the most part.

I love how they keep announcing these gigantic building projects to cover up that Dubai keeps arresting people over a speck of a tiny amount of an illegal substance.
F***wads.

#13
I feel like there are a number of other nations that, if turned philanthropic, could also end world hunger. But will that happen? No, we're all bastards. Dubai just wants to be the coolest, that way they'll have some favor in the eyes of the biggest bastards on the playground.

Sooo Unreal... here's a site for anyone wanting to look at projects/upcoming things from Dubai: http://www.dubai-architecture.info/DUB-GAL1.htm

Dude! Are you kidding!? Has ANYBODY seen enough horror movies in here to know that this is NOT a good idea! Buildings that are alive?
This gives me a creepy Resident Evil feel...or a creepy 'Cube' feel...

But on the other hand-- how fun would 'Hide and Seek' be?

maybe we should make buildings that have wind turbines so we could afford to offer dubai 20 bucks a barrel, see how long it takes before it piles up and they agree to our terms, maybe then they will stop flaunting all of their wealth and go back to the stone age. As it is, Dubai is rich and knows that their oil is going to be worth more than gold until the last drop is pulled from the earth.

#16: You find another, more economical skyscraper to live in.

dis idea is really nis and intresting....but still confuse,its like a DNA....really amazing!!

freakin crazy

this building is brilliant
i can't imagine that this type of building can also build.......
