#Taiwan designer comes up apartment building where everyone has a penthouse room A designer has developed a futuristic concept that solves the issue of housing inequality. Taiwanese industrial designer Shin Kuo came up with an idea of a spinning apartment building for his thesis project at the San Francisco Academy of Art University, which he titled Turn to the Future. The result was a building where each unit moves down a roller-coaster style track that wraps about a 27 story frame - offering ever-changing 360 degree views of the city around. Spinning around: An industrial designer has come up with a new idea for a building with rotating apartments that offer constantly changing views of the city around Rotating: The apartments are positioned on a track similar to a roller coaster and move on a 'pre-determined schedule'.Once an apartment reaches the bottom, it is pulled back to the top of the building Equal: Designer Shin Kuo said he thought up the idea as a solution to the problem of price differences between apartment units at the top of buildings (with better views) and those at the bottom The building moves on a 'pre-determined timeline' and once a unit reaches the bottom floor, it is pulled back to the top again by a crane system. In order to ensure safety, before each move the doors to the apartments will be locked and gas, electric and water lines detach before automatically reattaching at the next destination port. Kuo said that he thought up the idea as a solution to the problem of wealthy residents always getting the best view in high-rise buildings.
