This artist rendering released by Dynamic Architecture shows a rotating skyscraper that is to be built in Dubai. An Italian architect said he is poised to start construction on a new skyscraper that will be 'the world's first building in motion,' an 80-story tower with revolving floors that give it an ever-shifting shape

Pretty cool to look at

Rotating skyscrapers get their power from wind turbines that are placed between floors and which rotate freely with the wind. (The above illustration shows the only part of the occupied floors to emphasize the turbines.) Additional power is provided from solar cells on the tops of the individual floors.

Each individual floor is able to rotate slowly, based on commands issued by the owners of condos or apartments on that floor. I assume that the building owners can also take control, for coordinated movements of the floors. Note that the rotation of the floors is slow and uses power - the rotation of the floors does not produce power.
