40. Finally, take a look
at this rotating
skyscraper....

41. This tower has a height of
250 meters and 59 floors
mounted in a concrete core
which will serve as a rotating
shaft. The floors will be pre-
assembled and then
attached to the core of the
building.
Each floor will rotate
separate from the others.
The velocity will be slow and
not noticed by the residents.

42. The tower will have
solar and aeolian
electric system
generators to be self-
sufficient.
The project is Italian
and has not begun yet.
It is predicted that its
construction, will last
two and a half years.

be around 500 million
dollars.
