It’ll certainly draw a lot of attention. Apparently they’re planning one for Chicago too.

Cool building post, what will they think of next. Would definitely be a landmark and attraction just to see it rotate.

I hadn’t heard of that one, lucia! Thanks for the comment.

I think would be perfect in a science ficiton novel! But, it’s not the first building to induce motion sickeness. The John Hancock in Chicago used to sway so badly they had to fix it!

I just can’t imagine how a building could move around like that without causing some level of discomfort to those within.

If they pull this off, it will be awesome.

That would be the coolest building I’ve ever seen but absolutely refused to go into.

Buildings should not move. Buildings that move are not buildings - they are fallings.

I’m just wondering if the building is going to be built on water, like in the picture.

There is a long story behind the disappearance of the Kerang post. I might tell it one day, but not now.

Dubai does have all the fun! New buildings here in Melbourne are so drab by comparison. We need to come up with something extra special to out-do them - and I have an idea that could do just that: dehydrated skyscrapers!

Just add water.

Dude - the first building ever to fall apart on it’s first test run.

BTW - what happened to your Kerang post? It vanished!?!
