so i read an entry on inhabitat.com about electro-magnetic skyscrapers. pretty much, it is exactly what it sounds like. here’s info from the studio:

Electro-Magnetic Skyscrapers

Fictional Prototype 

2006

 Electromagnetic Skyscrapers

In this futuristic scenario controlled Electro Magnetic force (E.M.) will be a key element in the building industry. This controlled E.M. force will free humanity from the need to waste our planet resources by making the E.M. technology the ultimate sustainable method. E.M. Structures will be able to support each other simply by pure physical magnetism that can also direct electricity. By using magnetic fields as a construction material there can be Infinite vertical and horizontal expansions due to the final liberation from gravity.

this idea is so very fictional, but imagine if it was real. what if some evil genius developed this huge-ass magnet contraption and made the buildings flip around and everyone inside would be spinning. and then they’d barf because the evil man would spin them faster. then when it stopped spinning, you’d have a lot of dizzy people with barf all over themselves. then what?
(yup, this is the first thing i thought of after i read about it. an evil genius making people puke inside of spinning buildings. who wouldn’t think of that? seriously.)
