  1. Very good question, it makes me think immediately if how really the plumbing works be installed in that building. My idea is since the building floors will rotate around the big column support at the center of the building, the plumbing / piping works in the column will remain steady. While the main under slab piping will rotate corresponding to the floor rotation (example of this mechanism is like the rotating axle of the truck under chasis). This rotating under slab plumbing will be connected to main steady pipe at the main center column with rotating connectors.
