In an attempt to attract the world’s wealthiest tourists, Dubai is creating many of the most interesting structures in the world. This most recent project is an incredible structure that allows the occupants to choose which direction their floor faces. It also produces much more energy than it uses, thanks to the large wind turbines located between floors. This building actually generates ten times the power that it needs, putting that energy back into the power grid.
