Self-sufficient ‘Moving’ Skyscraper

I'm speechless.  (but not type-less as this post shows)

An Italian architect has designed a skyscraper where all 80 floors turn and spin. That's right – each floor turns 360 degrees independent of each other!!! This means the building will NEVER be in the same shape more then once in a lifetime!!

 

But wait – it get's better: between each floor is a giant wind turbines. Yelp. Wind turbines. This means that the entire building is energy self-sufficient (with a little extra power to sell back into the grid).  

The first skyscraper of this design is to be completed in Dubai by 2010. There are also talks of a similar one in Moscow, but no time frame on that one yet.

Oh – if you want to get in on the record breaking skyscraper it cost you $3.7m to $36m per apartment. Money mouth
