That doesn't look like it was designed to be insane...

I would absolutely hate to have some of these buildings in my neighborhood. I always like interesting designs, but some of these are just ridiculous..

I know there was this one show on Discovery channel that showed futuristic buildings:

One (I don't remember the name of it, so I can't get a picture of it) Was going to be built so that each level would spin a different way around on a metal post, making 360 degrees in 90 minutes. And it wasn't just 5 floors, it was going to be a wealthy office building that was around 90 floors high. But later it said that too many people would get sea sick, it would be too complicated to get to other floors, and it would be WAY too expensive to build, but it was a good idea.

^Dubai. Known as the Dynamic Tower.

How the heck would they manage to get water and electricity to the apartments? Not to mention sewage? How would the doors work?

[Ocram's Razr 964]

Through the core, of course!

[Cobraroll 138]

^Yeah, but...

In every normal building, the core is aligned with the "outer shell". You can make a, say, water pipe go straight from the central core and out to a sink mounted on the outer wall. Everything fine.

With a rotating building, the pipe would be bent as the outer shell rotated. It would eventually snap. The same goes for wires, AC, sewage, etc. I can see what they would do with the doors, but what about the things that require a permanent connection?

[Ocram's Razr 964]

Maybe there are several pipes that could connect to the core and there is a small water tank and septic tank that fill up and empty out when they get the chance (when the pipes connect). There could be sensors and some flexibility that allows the pipes to connect for an hour.

Some of them are pretty cool but most make me wonder why they are still allowed to stand.

Oh, one more thing,

These buildings, are just strange. They have strange looks. I don't know their names but, one of them is the Ferarri World Headquarters, andother a giant shark tooth, and look at them...

And the...

That above was the building the swimming was held in the 2008 Olympics.

The flower building I guess...

Now one big shark must be under there, looking up...

And now here is the Burj Dubai... everyone's tallest building on the old world sort of favorite...

Were these weird enough? With the people that are dressed exactly the same way at the bottom?

[Red Lightning 8]
