I read about a new rotating tower announced a couple of days ago.  The link to the original article on the unveiling is below but this is quite an interesting design as the entire tower can rotate floor plates 360 degrees giving way for countless configurations to the tower.  Apparently this isn't the first of it's kind as a smaller 30 story tower was introduced last year that also offers rotating floor plates, but this newly proposed tower is much taller at 68 stories.

I think that they were wanting to make an entire development of around 50 buildings all rotating. Would be spectacular to see.

looks like this building will be 80-stories and the apartments will not only rotate, but the building itself will actually change shape. Great project...but you know Americans are paying for it in high oil prices
