Plans for the project were unveiled in New York by Italian architect David Fisher, who said: "This building will have endless different shapes".
The 420-meter (1,378-foot) building features 80 apartments that spin a full 360 degrees around a central column by means of 79 power-generating wind turbines located between each floor

As cool as this is, maybe this isn't the best idea considering the world needs to rethink how we use our energy. I don't know if they have perfected the wind power system, if it's efficient and clean, lets go for it! We need more art in our cities.

What is up with Dubai? So much money, but I can't say it's always been well spent. Check out this pod about the richest city in the world and the surging hip, progressive youth faction that inhabits it.

Yeah it's incredible. But with no consideration for the environment... I mean, I don't even want to think about Dubai's carbon footprint. Anywhere in the middle of the desert that offers skiing has got to be at the top of the list. At least groups are starting to pressure industry in Dubai to reduce their carbon footprint.
