I didn't get that it "takes hours for a full rotation" until I read the comments. They should have that in the description because 95% of the people who watch this are not physicists, and won't know that, because just watching the video gives you the impression it's showing the movement in real-time. I was thinking "The hell? It'll make people sick, spinning around like a top!" Just the spinning tower in Sea World at San Diego is impressive enough - this would be breathtaking.

Let's hope so!

There's ery little risk involved. And because it's being built like a lego tower (each condo is built in a factory in Italy and will be assembled there like lego blocks), costs won't be very high. Plus, the building's rotating allows it to be totally self-powered, so it'll save a fortune on energy costs alone.

Nah. It's not flimsy. It's actually really strong.If I were working on this, I'd design it to be fixable from the inside. You can take a car up in the lift, so replacing a window the same way should be doable.Dude, do you have any idea how heavy each floor is? A strong gust won't spin this very fast at all. It takes hours for a full rotation.The building looks beautiful, is original and looks structurally sound.

Hm ... my advise ... marry a blond !

Wow, looks great, but flimsy. I think this building will collapse. They should have thought about how to fix window panels if they're destroyed. If the units are rotating, will they all be stopped to tend to one unit?What if there are strong wind gusts and one blade breaks or worse yet, spin a unit to the point of destruction and someone's innocent death? This building will be a major catastrophy.

pretty awesome, I hope this is made!

what?

It would be almost impossible to build but... if it's done, it'll be one stunning sight

Absolutely incomprehensible.
