Thanks Mandy for sharing!
From Spain to Dubai, China to Iceland, these buildings will definitely make you look twice!
Upside down buildings, revolving, ever-changing buildings, buildings that look like a giant basket and buildings that look like they're attempting to squeeze the other buildings around them... there sure is a lot of imagination in the world!

This building will never appear exactly the same twice. It is amazing
but you will have the choice of waking up to sunrise in your bedroom
and enjoying sunsets over the ocean at dinner. In addition to being
such an incredible engineering miracle it will produce energy for itself
and even for other buildings because it will have wind turbines fitted
between each rotating floor (picture 2). So an 80-story building will
have up to 79 wind turbines, making it a true green power plant.
