At the inside, the  building has a very large number of clubs, bars, shops and cafes.Sadly, the interior isn’t as charming as the outside.

The Rotating Tower

The Rotating Tower,Dubai

Features

• Residents will be able to control the rotation speed and direction of their individual deluxe apartment It is quite astonishing that you will have the choice of waking up to sunrise in your bedroom and enjoying sunsets over the ocean at dinner.

Intersting Facts

• In addition to being such an marvelous engineering miracle it will produce energy for itself and even for other buildings because it will have wind turbines fitted between each spinning floor . So an 80-story building will have up to 79 wind turbines, making it a true green power plant.

• In 2008 David Fisher said that the project is said to have been renewed and is projected to be 420m tall when complete and this make it "The Third Tallest Building" in Dubai, after the Burj Khalifa (828m) and Marina 101 (432m).

World’s first “Pre-manufactured Skycraper”

• Fisher said that up to 90 percent of the tower, apart from the central column, could be built in a factory and then transported to the construction site. Each apartment will then be fitted to the central column, piece by piece. The tower will be the world’s first “Pre-manufactured skyscraper”.

Benefit of Pre-manufacturing

• Doing so would not only lessens both the expenses of the project and the amount of workers needed, but would also allow for the tower to be built up to "30 percent earlier" than a skyscraper of a similar size.

Cost

•  The project is  set to cost 1,212,007,500Dhs (ooo yeah, that’s just over 1.2 billion mate).It had been said that this building will complete in 2020.

The Basket Building (Ohio, USA)

  This is the headquarters of the “Longaberger Basket Company” in Newark, Ohio, this building is constructed to look exactly like the basket which they are famous for manufacturing. Although numerous experts tried to convince the “David Longaberger” to go for something a little different but he had made up his mind.

Feature

•  This building  is one of the most well-known illustrations of mimetic or derivative architecture, in which structures are designed to mimic or signify objects related with their function(i.e,Baskets made of Maple).

Interesting facts

• The Big Basket building was designed to replicate the company's top selling artefact, "The Medium Market Basket" with an exception of size(160 times larger)
• Designers had at first projected designs that were simply suggestive of a basket, until the company's founder “Dave Longaberger” jagged to one of the baskets and told them to “make it appear just like that”.

 Cost and Completion

• The 180,000 sq. ft. building cost $30 million to construct and was finalized in 1997. It is 7-floor tall with a central hall and glass ceiling to provide natural light. It is outdone by double steel handles, each having weight 75 tons, which are designed with heating elements to prevent them from freezing and so protecting the glass hall below from dropping ice. On each side of the top of the building are two gold-leaf-painted 'Longaberger' tags computing 25 x 7 ft.

Issues and struggle

• In February 2016, after a period of dropping profits and staff lessening, Longaberger's parent company "JRJR Networks" broadcast that the residual employees would be moved out from the Newark headquarters.

• One of the common issues with mimetic architecture, is its "Re-sale Worth".The upcoming future of the Big Basket building has been indefinite. However, there does seem to be general support in Newark for conserving it as a local milestone, with ideas for future such as converting it into a hotel, a multi-family residence, senior housing or an academic building.

Interior of The Basket Building

• Jim Klein, a previous Longaberger president who wishes to get the building involved on the National Register of Historic Places, said: “The Big Basket is like the St. Louis Arch. It's a really important part of southeastern Ohio  history”.

In August 2017 a fake news about building being demolished was spread.
