oma having some fun.
and to everyone..at least you love it or hate it. this is better than some of the endless depressing sprawl that so many are building that is only good for forgetting.
if it weren’t for projects like these, we would all be numb with boredom.

Less power consumption for the AC – yeah right!
Save 10Kw from the AC and use 10Mw for the levitation magnets! Sounds green!

Actually, I heard they’re planning to have really powerful magnets at the bottom of the building and the top of the base so these repel and the building floats.

I heard him lecture about this building in Southern California and his reasoning behind this concept was that he was trying to step away from all of the craziness and architectural noise that is becoming dubai and “go back to the basics” of simple, clean and straightforward design. A thin rectangle standing veritcally in the air…..that rotates. wtf? so much for being subtle. His reasoning behind making it rotate? It’s “green” in that Air Conditioning and Electricity will not have to be used because it rotates with the sun hitting the skinniest sides of the building and doesn’t heat the main sides of the building. Ok, fine. But I wonder what he thinks it will take to ROTATE A FREAKN BUILDING.
