It's a moving skyscraper, looks really beautiful. Although moving that fast would make you quite sick!!

What happens if you have furniture on wheels? Are you sat in the lounge watching tv and suddenly the chair from the study rolls over to join you?

It is an amazing building, look forward to seeing it completed and in action.

Dread to think what the ground rents would be like though, to keep all that machinery in working order. Can foresee it not looking quite so good when half of the floors have broken down and awaiting spare parts to get them moving again...

As soon as I saw that there is a second one going up in Moscow that thought entered my mind too, I can't see them maintaining it quite so well.
