Pivoting skyscrapers

What´s the deal with pivoting skyscrapers? Are they going to be new icons in every major city? For now, they are expected to be a reality in Dubai and Moscow by 2010, but delays are expected. The works began back in 2008, and just a few people knew about the project then. Now, they are becoming more popular and more investors get interested in these skyscrapers.

I think that the Dubai and Moscow towers will be only the beginning, if the idea works well, we will probably see pivoting skyscrapers in most big cities around the world. They are expensive to build, but if they are sold well, the return of investment is certainly worth it, and so is the tourism and millionaires coming to the city where the skyscraper is placed.

For a further explanation of these new kind of buildings, here´s a document taken from scribd, which most likely will clarify some common doubts. A staggering fact that I found out with this document was that each inhabitant will park his/her park by his/her appartment.
