If we tell the below news to INDIANS....they tell like this:
A common man here needs a decent place to live with affordable rents.Why they waste their money in useless ways....

Revolving tower on Shaikh Zayed Road

New York: The world's first revolving, pre-fabricated tower is to be built in Dubai by Italian architect David Fisher with a development value of about $3 billion (Dh11 billion).
The 80-storey Dynamic Tower will be 420 metres tall and located on Shaikh Zayed Road.
"The tools used today in real estate are so primitive. From 1889, steel was used to construct the Eiffel tower and then reinforced concrete was used in 1905. We are still building similar to how the Egyptians built the Pyramids," Fisher told
The area of the Dynamic Tower will be around 1.2 million square feet.
Fisher said there would be a central core in the tower for lifts. There will even be lifts especially for cars, so it will be possible to drive to apartments.
The Dynamic Tower offers infinite design possibilities, as each floor rotates independently to create a building that constantly changes shape, resulting in a unique and ever evolving architectural structure. Between each rotating floor will be horizontal wind turbines so that the tower will be able to generate enough energy to power five other towers of similar size.
As the tower will be pre-fabricated with the parts being made in Italy, the amount of time spent on construction is greatly reduced.
"It will only take six days to complete one floor," said Fisher. In contrast, the average time taken to complete a floor of a traditional building is around six weeks.
Fisher estimated that it will only take around 20 months to complete the Dubai Dynamic Tower.But it takes many years to finish work.
It rotates like this:
