Slog - Comments on The Days of Static Buildings Are Over http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/06/the_days_of_static_buildings_are_over Set for construction in Dubai this fall: the world's first rotating, self-powering, park-your-car-inside-your-condo skyscraper. It's not a building, it's an action-thriller blockbuster!...

It seems like every month they're throwing out images of another crazy building that doesn't exist. It either won't exist for a long, long time, or it will never exist. You can barely find an actual image of Dubai in Google without it being riddled with concepts.

What is that, anyway? It's like their scene is to hopefully have a scene in the future.
