Maybe once or twice a year all the colors on each side match up.
A bit of silliness

(???) Revolving Building
http://story.news.y.../afplifestylebrazil
Each of this building's 11 stories revolve independently. Figure out how to make each column of apartments elevate independently (that is, rotate on a vertical axis) also, and you'd have a version of Rubik Cube Building. [jurist, Dec 17 2004, last modified Dec 18 2004]
Rubiks Cube Building!

After a few ideas that were wide of the mark, may I congratulate you on this corker and extend my welcome. Easily bakeable with lighting hung off nearby buildings. |
|
| |
Yeah, like it. [-] cos you're new and thus will only get fishbones. Only joking, have a croissant, it's well-deserved. |
|
| |
nah, need more explanation please. |
|
| |
those two are easily pleased! |
|
| |
This one just 'feels' right :-) |
|
| |
yes, quite. sorry but it needs a little more detail! |
|
| |
hey, I watched The Cube and am still traumatised. |
|
| |
I'd like to see some buttons people on the sidewalk could push, which would rotate the lights in different directions. |
|
| |
Actually, the buttons could be on the roof of a different building (e.g. the observation deck of the Empire State Building), from which you can see the Rubiks cube building from a distance and it's the size of a little Rubik's cube. |
|
| |
Next up, rubik's cubicles. |
|
| |
I envisioned a complex mechanical system of tracks that the rooms of the building move around on..... |
|
| |
Don't know why I'm so drawn to this idea...could it be all those colors? |
|
| |
[phundug], the button idea sounds great but I just know I would waste hours upon hours punching the button until the colors are aligned correctly. |
|
| |
Now I'm going to have to install quicktime... |
|
| |
Sorry. It's not worth an install. Truly. |
|

For arcane reasons I couldn't get it encoded as .wmv without the strangest artifacts. The win media encoders are usually flawless. Maybe sometime I'll look a little deeper into the problem. Tonight, I just didn't have the energy. |
|
| |
Oooooh, all those pretty colors flashing, [bristolz]! |
|
| |
Astounding animation, [bristolz]! 'Twould be fun if [jaksplat] could devise a way to make his building revolve in similar fashion. [link added] |
|
| |
What the building needs is a controller of the quite obvious physical characteristics. |
