The madness of a revolving skyscraper
Surely a revolving building will make a significant number of people inside it constantly nauseous? Plans have been announced for a $700m moving skyscraper, the world’s first, in Dubai. The 80-storey tower will open its doors for business in 2010. You can be certain people like myself who suffer from balance disorders and disabilities will not, unless extremely foolish, ever set foot in such a building. Chances are, even looking at it would trigger the symptoms of my Mal de Debarquement Syndrome to go into overdrive.
